I don't know all of them but have been on BP long enough that if I were you, I'd talk to at least @Jay Hurst and @Devin PetersonYou could also bypass all Tax Return programs and go NonQM of some sort, such as a bank statement or other type, but you'd still have factor in your rentals. 

This is sort of what I was also thinking.  

Quote from @Nathan Gesner: Quote from @James Wesley: Yes, I am doing my best at educating them, but just doesn't resonate.I believe the difference between a hotel's hot tub is that it's commercial system with a larger filtration system, not a standalone residential product.No, it doesn't need to be drained every time.

If I do sell, it would be to 1031 into a larger multifamily/bed and breakfast. 

If a quit claim deed was used to transfer title in a normal sale one just wants to make sure the chain of title seems clear and that the owner issuing that deed had clear ownership.This is why we have title searches done and pay for title insurance to research these sorts of things and to protect us against the oddball unforeseeable circumstances.

Every pm group that we have done a substantially larger remodel for we have gotten 1/3 down and the rest upon completion.

Most markets will have some sort of local STR host group on Facebook you can join, or I would even do a quick search via Airbnb and find a host that way and message them and ask them to lunch or coffee to pick their brain.

Other homeowner wants to move into larger home, which I have.

Like windows open, lights on, door left open, that sort of thing.

It all will come down to the financials on these deals, and with a larger mortgage, expect less cash flow, so if I were your agent, I'd be focusing on making sure you have an income cushion but giving a broader focus on appreciation.
