Might have to look into this...I'm still over here getting a new card for the $200 off of $500 in the first 3 months and borrowing free money for a year lol I've always done cash-back and just make sure I use the card w/ the highest percentage for whatever I'm buying - I think Amazon is 6-7% back (depending how how fast you want it delivered), Wal-mart had a good one (5% back) there but I believe their partnership w/ CapitalOne just ended, Costco has a good one (4% back and I think 7% on gas). 

.- The reality is this depends on each individual caseworker.

Just from the little you wrote, it's pretty heavy on the red flags. 60 days on the market (depends where this is whether that is a lot or just fine, but definitely overpriced at this many days) plus no sold comps.

Depending on how you reach out, using another operator's list can feel transactional to the contact.

I would think it depends on the company, and their tolerance and experience with it.

But it is my understanding from these companies that a landlord policy does not cover STR or any renters under 30/60/120 days depending on who you talk to.

Basically questions that the PM/co-host need to be able to answer without having to do any deep-dive analysis.Property-specific questions such as property improvement advice, revenue potential, etc. that involve deep-dive analysis might justifiably incur an up-front cost depending on the PM/co-hosts business model.

This of course depends on your starting bank roll - but if its like mine (under 100k) - Im trying to put as little as possible into it on top of initial equity and fees.this will likely chew a big hole in your ROI  (now if you are looking to improve value with a cash out refi or a great prospect comes along that needs combo new plumbing, roof, windows, foundation repair, etc - well just make sure you know what youre getting into and/or have a good contractor and finger on the pulse of the market when estimating the ARV YOURSELF - couple missed items and you risk having a bad first investment and not doing it again).    7) dont be scared be ambitious ( i should heed my own advice sometimes) 8) define numbers goals within your target areas.  

The smart play would be to build a two story wood frame structure on top of piers or concrete block in most cases. 35 feet is a pretty typical height limit in most neighborhoods, so depending on elevation you SHOULD be able to build two stories on top of the elevated foundation.

As Pari said, you can learn notes and earn more than that, or if you want mailbox money and do no work, JV with a note investor and you can get 12%+ and your money is not tied up for years but on average 12-18 months (or less) depending on the deal.
