I've done a lot of research on this topic as both an investor and as one who assists other investors in exploring this strategy.

This is getting very tedious and time consuming.

As I'm new to this domain, I would to hire a consultant to perform some zoning and other due diligence activities.

I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area as an investment property and renting it out on a short term rental site like AirBNB. 

@Bruce Bennett this is a super important question and it doesn't just apply to lenders. 

Looked around the site, I only see lenders, property managers, agents, brokers, etc. but not developers?

They'll be ok with slower speeds, just for browsing and streaming.For routers and modems, just make sure you go with name brand devices and check reviews on tech sites.

Yes, this is "tough love", but you won't survive in this business if you let it affect you:)

This strategy could work.

Might be an additional cost there.If units are updated, capex items look good, leases and tenants look solid, and there are no other regular expenses besides the 5200 in insurance/property taxes then I like this deal.
