I can't wrap my head around believing that has any seriousness in it what so ever.

You will still get what you put into the property back and they have to pay some interest I believe.

But I believe that if you're not violating any terms, not in a restricted industry or involved with anything deemed risky by Stripe then you're probably safe.It appears their move to Stripe is for accelerated payment processing, which is interesting since they acquired eRentPayment and Payment Report.On surface level it might be they're adding Stripe as an option on top of their existing infrastructure.

I believe there maybe a few different ways to tap the equity in my 1st rental, but my concern is that if I take out the equity for a new purchase, I'll be reducing the cashflow of my business due to the additional debt repayment.

If it is a smaller property, though, and you believe that the value may fall under $100k, there is only one DSCR program that can do that.

They don't ask for anything, so seem to just want someone to give them a medal for showing up.I believe the bootcamps and podcasts encourage new users to introduce themselves.

Some do 200k a year or more.No way will I believe that unless someone shows me their audited books.

I wouldnt do a quitclaim deed but Im not an expert on the topic - I believe its best to go with an attorney or a title company.

This will impact the rents on your current home when you move to house hack.I believe the MTR/STR market in San Diego has suffered similar impacts as many other STR markets resulting from the fed trying to slow the economy.  

I believe it is gathering STR data which is only partially relevant.
