Always gather ALL the same information for every applicant.2.

Pretty much everything I have seen and read is:Find out the sellers motivation/problem and speak to solving that issue.Give an offer but explain how you got your numbers.Other than that, it seems pretty limited for negotiating information. 

Whereas with an STR, even with clear english detailing any issues up front, is often booked on a whim with an overload of information digested in a short period of time.

@Rob Swanson,Thanks for the information.  

Based on limited information that is provided, I recommend saving longer, since you are unable to house hack. 

Currently, I have American Family Insurance and it ends up at the end of January.Any information is really appreciated .Best regards and thanks,Carlos

Thanks in advance for any information.  

There's some mis-information and mis-understanding of AP, the process and it's effect in this thread.

Not that I recommend any of the information, but just giving you a place to go look. 

As an investor, I value an agent coming to me with deals based on their in depth knowledge of the real estate landscape, networking, connections, and additional information they might be privy to.
