Thanks  There ARE continuity of obligation rules that your subject to since you're considering a refinance and you're not Obligated on the current underlying mortgage (subject-to mortgage from seller).The rule states that if you dont qualify for one of the rules under COB that your maximum LTV is limited to 50% LTV for all refinances within 24 months from the date of acquisition.

We manage a property in Gatlinburg Falls, and the internet has been down for over a week now. 

If they ask for your Date of Birth, then it is a personal form policy.

If you are considering this route, seek legal counseling, as I'm just a guy on the internet that has watched a bunch of YouTube videos by Clint Coons :) 

I especially appreciated their reports, which detail the methods, dates, and times they attempted to reach tenants.

Each tab has:- Tenant information- Rent ledger: date of payment, form of payment, amount, balance- Maintenance tracking: date, problem, vendor assigned, date completed, date invoice paid, notesThat's it.

Just because some random guy on the internet is scamming people for real estate multifamily courses, and looks successful doesn't mean you should hop into it with no experience.

Not in GA specifically but we here at biggerpockets have @Garrett Brown who is specifically here for STR questions and content, so if STR community and tips is what you're looking for I definitely recommend giving him a follow to keep up to date on what folks are saying about STRs on the BP forums!
