it seems like the potential buyer might want to have you put in some spec items that you normally do not offer to customers. 

The rent growth and appreciation in Williamsburg is attractive but the annual returns will likely be lower.If you decide on NYC, you may want to target househack properties with additional income potential like ADUs, storage and private parking.All the best!

I will be looking at a property this week from a private seller.

We live in the front half and airbnb the private entrance 1 bedroom, 1 bath, living room (hotel suite style) back half that is separated by a door that we deadbolt.

So this left a HUGE opportunity for the private/hard money lenders to fill the void. there is 10 to 50X as many PML/HML in the market today than there was in say 2006..

Pete aren't highly rated so targeting families at a higher price point for single family homes doesn't seem possible to me at the moment since these house are more expensive and most families will commute to private, charter or magnet schools so location doesn't mean as much.

I probably won't book any place that does not have instant booking turned on in the future.If I am not mistaken, instant book is a search criteria on one of the platforms, and if you are not doing that, then your pool of potential customers is smaller by some degree.  

I literally get a Christmas card from my Plumber - which tells me we are one of their bigger customers. 

Another thing, I had no idea how to get some private lenders, because I don't have a well-known brand, so it's harder this way.

DSCR loans are loans issued by private lenders with proprietary and differentiated rules and guidelines and are typically included in “non-QM” securitizations.The advantage of conventional refinance loans is that they typically have the lowest interest rates and fees.
