Jorge, this post hits hard—raising equity is definitely a beast!

I'm in a few Facebook groups and honestly I don't love the format and have a hard time remembering to pop into FB. 

I’m told taxes and insurance is lot and will rise each year and cash flow is hard to come by.

We send out explicit instructions by email to our guests before check-in and have a hard copy waiting for them upon arrival.

It's such a broad question that it's hard to answer.My original intent was financial freedom for my family.

Quote from @Marc Shin: Hello,For the financing of a BRRRR, are there lenders that are willing to include the costs of Airbnb set up (i.e. furnishings) in the initial hard money loan for a BRRR? 

Most of my clients:1) Put 20% down for a conventional investment loan.2) Put 10% down for a second home loan3) Something else, either hard money, DSCR, or portfolio loans.These are the most common ways. 

It's great that you are ready to start investing, but it's very hard to answer how you should start without more information.

I believe the one benefits most besides the politicians are those low quality tenants that are hard on units, pay late, rough on the neighbors, etc.

From my understanding, you’re spot on that the VA only requires intent to occupy the property within 60 days—there’s no hard-and-fast rule about staying for a year.
