I've seen a few folks make that kind of jump, and it's not as off-the-wall as some might think.

Please don't pay any kind of money, especially that amount for some kind of Instagram influencer.

A common rule of thumb is around $30 to $60 per square foot for light to moderate renovations.

What are some common issues you faced, and how did you resolve them?

And one more question I've worked with 3 REA thus far but so far none of them communicate timely (it usually take 2-3 days to get a response even when I'm letting them know I want to offer on a property) is this common?

It is a common area for investment property.

It just has to do with how each platform markets themselves and what kinds of guests come through.I am an investor and co-host in Dallas, Texas and that's generally the posting rules I go by.

I'd consider doing some kind of cash out refi on the property at a number you're both comfortable pulling out, while still leaving $ for reserves to maintain the STR you currently have.

I don't really understand what value you think you're adding to the forums by relentlessly posting these kinds of messages. 

These kinds of deals look good on paper, but they usually never pan out to be good investments.
