It occurred to me a long time ago as to why no logical argument about REAL ESTATE will win an argument with someone wanting to believe that the purchase of a guru’s program will ensure their success.  

Yes, there are more steps to go through (often including sending in a W-9 tax form), but those steps are usually pretty straightforward.Additionally, most of the folks tasked with finding the housing for the company's VIPs are really appreciative of being treated well by a good property manager, so you can stand above the crowd by simply responding quickly and respectfully.

The lipstick renovations simply don't pencil.  

I was simply showing where I was and how I got there, not how someone else should do it, they might need more money.

I wish I would have stuck to simply multifamily but everyone has a strategy. 

Many loan officers who work primarily in the owner occupied space will try to argue that DSCR is more expensive and have higher rates, but that is simply not true in most cases. 

win-winBest of luck

We simply wanted to keep it and turn in into asset (long term).

Win that person over with logic and patience, and DIRECTLY address his/her/(it's?)

They are simply more sophisticated and have greater resources to conduct more thorough diligence.
