This is so true Toni.

I am looking at a tiny home to purchase as an STR, and am in the same boat as far as the lending situation.

What is common practice as far as the contractual agreement between the agent and the buyer in the event the seller does not pay or only pays a portion of the agreement (i.e if the seller only pays 1-1.5%)?

As far as location, it is very sought after as it is is very close to the airport, easy access to the Space Coast on the 528, the 417 will take you right to Disney and downtown is just West on the 408.

Just from taking a quick look around I found that there are less that 1000 STR's in the Charlotte area proper and was wondering if there are any restrictions as far as using a property for short term rentals. 

As far as the girlfriend thing maybe if you have a fragile relationship then yes but I am not concerned one bit about it we have been renting together for 6 years and she sees it the same way I do, We are not married yet so buying a property together is foolish.

When you look at a 100 percent owned deal you cut the bank out of the picture as far as cash flow and get to pocket everything.

You should be able to get 20% down on 1-4 units not 30%, which would stretch your dollar further as far as purchasing power but the leverage will lower your cash flow.

As far as Cardone, they are not bad, but I think there is better available.Good Luck

So, the terms of your lease should be catered to that, with very strict insurance terms, personal guarantees behind any company signing your lease, requirements that lessee handles all repairs and maintenance, additional security deposits, and I would go so far as requiring minimum review quality for the host, limits on quality of guests they can accept, etc.And to your point about Airbnb not doing background checks, you are right.
