I much prefer VRBO bookings over airbnb, however it seems lately that VRBO seems to be going downhill with some of the things they have implemented lately.  

I've also been a real estate investor for 20+ years and the BRRRRR Strategy is my preferred method of acquiring. 

However, I'm not a Delaware-law expert (most of my clients prefer TX LLCs over Delaware LLCs) so I'll defer to those more knowledgeable about those trusts. 

I only invest in performing notes with a minimum of 70% LTV or lower preferably in case things go south…non-performing notes may be more lucrative but for me I like boring right now.  

The hurdle you will run into is that a purchase money loan (mortgage, car loan, etc.) is a preferred status under the law and will take priority over other debts and claims against your assets.

Aside from allowing 35 non-accredited investors (or 3.5M if they all invested 100k) what is so much easier about filing for a 506(b) that the long time proven operator prefers?

Many prefer white because it looks upscale and like a nice hotel, but lots of hosts have been moving to light gray to help with the staining and spots that can occur.

This does depend on your goals and your preference on more appreciating markets vs. more cashflow centric markets, but there are definitely properties out in our neck of the woods that could work to scale up!

And then an actual message comes through. 2 weeks after check out they wanted to let us know about some spider webs, a microwave built-in that was too high (based on preference), a power strip with loose wire connection and several other items that they never let us know about during their stay.

For preferred jumbo investor lending programs check in with @Joseph Chiofalo to help with baseline structuring and a Pre Approval vs PreQual which has helped several of my luxury buyers win competitive offerings.
