Its a good question and lots of resources here on BP to learn - generally going the "conventional" route with mortgage loans from private lenders that conform to GSE (Fannie Mae) standards is great for your first few, then many switch over to "DSCR Loans" when they start scaling towards property number 3,4,5 etcI recommend talking to Jeff Welgan at Bluprint home loans to talk to to learn about the conventional options https://bluprinthomeloans.com/jeff/Also feel free to check out these resources on "DSCR Loans" which don't use DTI at all and are really good for scaling:BP-Published DSCR Guide!

If you’re ever in doubt, you can ask for more information from the guest through Airbnb’s messaging platform, but never take the conversation off-platform.If you were doing a longer rental (like 30+ days), you'd want to have an off-market rental lease in place, but for anything on Airbnb, it's best to keep everything within their system for your own protection.

Once I had the property under contract approximately $50,000 below market value, I contacted A private money lender.

Anyone who replies "yes", expect a private message lol.

I would also consider "private money" from friends and family for your first deal as well - maybe offer 8-10% simple interest and see if anyone would be interested.

Folks started investing, visiting, and learning the market and discovering there was something interesting happening.About six months ago my investor conversations started really changing.

12% APY for our Private Lender on this deal.100% passively.We borrowed the funds, we fixed the propertyWe sell it when it's beautified. 

I can definitely help you find refinance solutions that fit your strategy, including options with shorter seasoning periods and up to 75% LTV cash-out refinances.I have relationships with dozens of private lenders who cater specifically to foreign investors, all of which offer flexible terms that could align with your goals.

I get the gist of this but not completely sure how it works out also would it be smart to use a private money lender for gap funding in order to come with the capital needed to get approved for the fix and flip funding?

@Alex Lickenbrock If your young family needs schools and you don't want to pay for private, you may want to consider the suburbs (and there is a range of school/suburb quality as well).
