The broker may not want you to do that or may have other restrictions. 

So in house loans would give me less restrictions for me to be a little more creative.

Stay educated by studying the real estate market through podcasts, books, and online communities.Good luck!

I see that there is a lot of new construction SFHs coming online or soon.

I read online that apparently for WA state there's a state and national broker exam.

Also, I get an alert when the deposit is made (good for tracking late payments) and the online statements list their names that are on the card.

LTRs require finding tenants much less often, but they also have a large pool of possible residents that understand the process and a large buffet of online places to source them.

I’d appreciate some feedback on my current approach and advice if any.Here’s what I’ve done so far:Pre-Approval: I’ve secured a pre-approval amount and interest rate from an online mortgage lender.Property Analysis: I’m using the mortgage and STR calculators from BiggerPockets to assess the financials for potential properties.Neighborhood Research: I’ve been exploring different neighborhoods using Niche to get insights into schools, safety, and livability.AirDNA: I’m considering subscribing to AirDNA for data on occupancy rates and rental income estimates.Questions:Is AirDNA worth the investment for STR data?

Of course, lots of testimonials, typical of on-line sales. 

Curious about potential STR restrictions.
