Thanks for the suggestion!

If you can qualify for a Full Doc income loan and do not need DSCR I would suggest trying to get a traditonal approval to avoid the higher rates. 

And absolutely don't pay retail. 

If you purchase online, find a retailer that has the delivery window at the point of purchase.

What do you suggest?

I would suggest an out of state investor really needs to get an objective set of boots on the ground.

Additionally, I verified that the parcels are buildable and analyzed competitive market prices, which suggest high profit margins.

If that's the case I would strongly suggest building your team before pulling the trigger on an Airbnb.

While I don’t suggest that the smaller type investor purchase and utilize “exotic” vehicles like foreign asset protection trusts, family limited partnerships with outside controls, or Byzantine or convoluted maze of ownership entities, the more simple strategies of using Series LLCs, self directed retirement plans, and paying off their home mortgage to the extent of the Federal BK homestead exemptions can insure that a plaintiff attorney never even considers going after them.  

Its generally retail medical operators, so we include things like the market dynamics for our use and why statistically the market and location of the site will be viable form a business case standpoint, and speak to how the startup has enlisted the help of an EMR or other such consultant to help in their general rampup and ability to bill/get insurance contracts.
