absolutely. lots of folks looking for that size rental for multiple months . that is a desirable size. not too large, not to small..

Each Realtor, agent or Brokerage may work for whatever compensation they desire and must outline it clearly in their agreements with their clients.  

There is not a specific type of client that all lenders desire since every one has a different credit box.

Our plan is to use the place some ourselves, so it needs to accommodate a family, hence the desire to look for four bedrooms. 

The areas would probably be a little less then desirable but can still work.

But real education takes real time, study, effort, and desire.  

Based on the desired monthly payment, we use a financial calculator to determine the necessary terms to achieve that payment, considering the price the seller is asking.If interest rates are not specified, our initial offer includes our desired monthly payment along with their asking price, with a balloon payment due in year 20.

The ironic thing is that in some resort/highly desirable locations where the cost of housing is high, when STRs are banned, the houses in question typically get bought by people as a second/third/fourth vacation home and then let it sit vacant. 

Of the 5, there were 3 that made hit the mark, this was the most desirable and I was aggressive.

then you really don't have a problem...except that you are forced to switch horses in mid-stream which I know is not desirable....A new GC will not always charge so much more to take over a job mid-stream, it just depends on a lot of things (like the original GCs reputation).I would get a release (of sorts) stating that the original GC will warranty the work that he has completed and that the new GC is not liable for any work not performed by his company.
