Purchase like so, use 401k loan to rehab, then rent and refinance is the plan that I am considering for my first property.

I would just go on VRBO (or similar) and look how people design their properties where it really matters (they are trying to rent to daily guests and design/amenities are super important.

And they’ve cost me alone well over $30k in damages and lost rent thanks to their complete negligence.

I recommend you budget 5% of the gross rent (for the whole place, even what the rent would be if you were living in it as a tenant) for repairs and 5% for capital expenditures.

Anyone can live anywhere they want if they have the money, and sometimes houses are bought and then rented out without much background checking on the people moving in.

I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.

They do not write policies in Louisiana where all of my properties are located. 

I am going to finish the rehab and get it rented then resubmit for a rental loan.I have used Cashcall Mortgage twice and have been very happy with them but Elite seems to be more flexible and have more options so was going to see if they are competitive.

Great location!
