People can remotely access the homes using your digital lockboxes, if you have them.

My significant other and I decided to use a builder she had done business with in the past.   

That's just the nature of this business. 

To make taxes easier we set up a business checking account and had all the rent paid into that account and all the expenses paid out of that account.

I have two phones, one for business and one for personal.

Friendship and business don’t always mix well, so it’s critical to use a solid lease and treat this as a business arrangement.

Although I don’t have experience in house flipping yet, I’ve successfully run a construction business back home.Due to the war, my family and I had to search for a new place to live.

Make it part of your business model and focus on scaling vs managing.

Hard part with business is separating your emotions from it.

As mentioned by @Chris Mason, Bridge Loans: These short-term loans can provide immediate financing until more traditional financing becomes available or until the property stabilizes and becomes more attractive to lenders.Interest rates and stipulations may be a pain.Out of the box here and requires a few more research, SBA Loans: Small Business Administration loans can be an option, especially the SBA 7(a) loan program, which can be used for hotel acquisitions.I heard someone  mention - Mezzanine Financing: it involves a combination of debt and equity financing, which might appeal to some investors looking for higher returns.
