I do it myself and takes 20 to 30 minutes a month (did it yesterday for Dec), with about 7 of those minutes for 1 property in Blount County, TN which requires the form to be manually filled out, write a check, address an envelope, scan doc and check for my records and walk it to my mailbox.

Do you ever make it to any of the CHS meetups?

We do those types of loans.

do you think this venue was a bad choice ??? 

Educate yourself with resources like The House Hacking Strategy and practice analyzing deals using tools like BiggerPockets calculators.

Maybe you get it done easy enough some times, but then other guests won't sign it because ... they're lazy, they're unsure why you're doing something separate from Airbnb, for any number of reasons. 

It will have nothing to do with the local lender because they don't get to choose the appraiser or influence that at all.

Do you have cash to make repairs?
