If your timeline is relatively short, it may make sense to just have the lender fund the rehab (typically means better rates, too) There are a lot of different scenarios.

Were seeing a lot of BRRRR refinances in the sixes rate wise recently - rates have been a bit volatile last couple of weeks but some really solid BRRRR deals going on with DSCR considering the short seasoning periods and rates really competitive with conventional alternatives

I am considering turning it into an Airbnb/short term rental. 

I could go on, but that is a decent short list.

Short-term rentals aren't passive.

(An exception is if you own 5% of the company you work for)Agree, this is a great summary post on REPS with core concepts on how to qualify. .I think the complexity comes in when people have edge cases - it becomes difficult to write a simple short post that educates everyone.

I own a property in the Disney market and co-host/manage another 25 in the area.Disney I think is a good market if your goals are more aligned with traditional long term real estate goals, and a bad market if your goals are more immediate gratification and short term cash flow.The major benefit of the Disney market is that it's about the safest market you can find from a long-term perspective.
