Depending on the market you don't have to be a genius to capture good upside if you've got a good project, but when you don't mitigate the downside it doesn't matter what the upside looks like (in my opinion).

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

I also find that depending on the tenant, my one Airbnb property has less wear and tear because it's constantly cleaned and maintained versus my other rentals where the families living there settle in and accumulate stuff - which makes it hard to deep clean regularly (to my liking) as well as just the constant daily wear and tear from kids etc. 

Depending on when the STR was placed-into-service, depreciation will be prorated based on the amount of months remaining the tax year. 

Highly depends on the particular community. 

@Ella VolneyTypically, you can only find a lender in the country where the property is located and, if you're not a resident there, it will be more difficult if not impossible, depending on the country.When it comes to investors, they need to be open to the idea and then you need to have opportunities that fit within their right risk/return profile.

But I do have the knowledge, and the tools to perform those tasks.

If you catch these at the pre-foreclosure stage as slow pays or initially in default all the better as the bank has less in collection expense.You can still work out a discount but even buying at the payoff it can be profitable depending on the property value.You can practically force a lender to sell as it can fully indemnify them as a full payoff as demanded, continuing with a foreclosure becomes a rather vengeful act by the bank to punish a borrower, they don't want to go there.

Efficiency: AI tools can automate time-consuming tasks such as property searches, fiscal modeling and even property management.

It really just depends when it comes to utilities.
