I've gone through the process of shopping out a loan for the property and it was decided that I'd go with a loan originator who initially told me the interest rate would be anywhere from 5.5-6%.

Interior - Recently redone black granite countertops in kitchen, but original cabinetry was simply painted white by previous owner with black accented handles.

The primary reason for this, is because Freddie Mac & Fannie loans are "securitized loans" (IE - they are turned into mortgage bonds / mortgage backed securities / MBS after they are originated).

I’m originally from Huntsville, so it’s great to see you’re investing in that area – solid market with lots of growth.

However, I offered to accept an alteration for 9 nights (2 nights fewer than original booking), which would have been roughly 50% refund.Message between me (M) and guest (G): - G: shares Airbnb's cancellation policy after check-in: a 50% refund of every night that remains 24 hours after you cancel.

All, at most, have had minimal fees - $500 for origination, etc.
