Active duty military and New here to BP while still considering myself new to REI. 

Given the recent pickup in activity, I thought this would be a good time to re-hash the agencies' small balance multifamily loan programs for future reference. 

So, if a “typical” transaction would require 20% down payment to go along with an 80% institutional loan, then if I brought in a couple of investors who funded 10% each and I as “sponsor” received a 33% ownership interest as “promote”, I would have used OPM for that 20% down payment. 

If you wouldn't leave pot or cocaine out, you shouldn't leave alcohol in a unit.You technically aren't responsible for what they do, but don't promote it.

I see FF to be very mixed on bookings compared to actively getting them.

As a note, I am active duty military, scheduled to deploy sometime next year, and I have plans to rent out the unit I am staying in once that time comes around. 

I am partnering with a local animal shelter to do content one day promoting the puppies and my own place in one. 

💪👊I'm an active duty AF, about to retire as well in the next few months, any advice on transitioning?

Either be active in management or hire a reputable PM who can satisfy this role.

I have been wondering this as well.So many insurance companies have substantially increased their rates or quit insuring in FL altogether.The increased Hurricane activity is just going to make this worse.My next STR was going to be a beach house, but I am rethinking that.
