I understand that you borrowed from VCF, but I'm curious if you talked to any local banks/credit unions to comparison shop and if they were competitive?

Their are hundreds of stories about how AirBNB left owners out in the cold.https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/fire-prompts-1-million...There is just one article where AirBNB seems to have skirted it's 1m guarantee.

Make sure to check local STR regulations, connect with investors, and run the numbers to find the best cash-flowing opportunities.Good luck!

I'm a local wholesaler, STR investor and generally curious real estate dude. 

There's no difference in a local flipping a house than flipping the small mixed-use building that is vacant in town into a couple commercial units and some apartments above. 

Happy to answer any questions and always open to any advice local experts are willing to share.  

You should be able to get this approved by a local bank or credit union pretty easily.

Reach out if you want to discuss, I can get you connected with a great local investor friendly agent!

i'd join facebook groups for your local area and figure out where the REI meet ups are.

i feel like the local FB groups will not allow me to advertise my STR there because they would label it as "soliciting".. any way to get around this so that it doesn't look like i'm soliciting?
