As for holding periods, some lenders may require you to occupy the property for a short time before converting it to a rental (typically 6-12 months), so check the fine print on that.If you’re set on making it an investment property, you may need to work with a lender who specializes in investment properties, even if it means a slightly higher rate.

I will go over with my realtor for the exact comps to see if it's worth it.

With Airbnb prices rising, we loved the idea of investing in a few different small apartments scattered around the world so we would have a virtually free place to stay, and when we were not there we would make money off of sites like Booking and Airbnb.

You need to terminate the tenancy with proper notice.

Using simple numbers, assume I want to purchase a $100,000 property using crypto as collateral:- I pay the closing costs with cash- I put down 10% down payment with cash ($10,000) - I utilize a crypto mortgage for the remaining 90% ($90,000) This way, I still keep my crypto and I have a property, both of which may accrue in value over the long-term.

I'll see if they have a program for this deal and I'll follow up with you. 

Banks with 2-10 branches are often good.   

It’s a great program, though it does come with some complexities.

I'm with @Huong Luu but would add join a local REIA and find some PMLs they are always hanging out at meetings.
