Can I do it as an investment property first and move into it at a later date?     

Understanding the interest rate, loan maturity date, and any prepayment penalties will help gauge urgency.3.

It took us a couple of weeks but we slowly increased their rankings unit they were on page 1 (based on search parameters of course) and they got a 10 day booking soon thereafter.We use Price Labs to check out the date of the last booking.

5) If approved, how much will they want upfront, when can they start and what's their expected completion date?

There is an abnormally low amount of new construction occurring on the coast in comparison to the demand and the existing inventory can be quite dated, especially for those coming from areas like California.

The agent was getting pushed pretty hard by his brokerage to get this signed before putting in an offer, so I caved, but limited the date. 

Very in-depth and up to date. 

I did not want to simply rely on one source so I figured there are people here that would be up-to-date if such a manner was so as well. 

These homes may be dated, but they can be decorated to a high standard.

I tried FB ads, and got some inquiries but no bookings.It would be nice to have an AI program that would respond to people looking for a certain sized property in your location for certain dates.
