is RE a great long-term investment? 

I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area as an investment property and renting it out on a short term rental site like AirBNB. 

It was purchased from MLS as a long term buy and hold rental.

Would a cash out refi be under commercial terms since the property(s) are under LLC?

It has taken me time and I am ok with building long term wealth vs spendable dollars today.

The goal is to start building long term relationship with, so any names would be appreciated. 

. $300sqft to build at least.If you have any sort of mortgage on the property you will need an attorney to handle the mountain of paperwork the bank will give you for a lien release. 10k+, also probably some nightmare terms to have to build and sell immediately and god knows what.At this point a year has passed and you have spent at least $60,000 cash, you're about to break ground on a structure that will cost you at the very least $400,000 to build, you are still 1 year away from cashing out because you have to now build a house.

Hmm, the title company said they couldn't determine the amount, only that there was an agreement to the terms of another agreement... like a notice for hoa responsibility tells you they're responsible but not how much is owed.

I completely agree that starting early is key to long-term success.

Some a short-term loan can also help you with DSCR loans with fewer regs and guidelines making your loan process much simpler.
