I own an office unit that houses my massage therapy business.

So day care, hair cutting, massages, psychic palm reading etc...are not allowed, but if they are selling stuff through eBay and needs the UPS or Fedex trucks to come pick up twice a day I don't have a problem with it.However with more and more people "subing" out rooms via Airbnb I wonder if I should add a clause in there specifically addressing it.I know many people are doing it because I use Airbnb when travelling overseas, and I often read in the ads SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS saying "...do not go to the property directly so as to confuse neighbors or property management, meet me at the designated meeting location then I'll guild you to the location quietly..."

I've already caught myself trying to massage the numbers on some properties to work better cause I am itching to get my first deal.

The numbers I'd look to massage are the purchase price and the $12k rehab.

We don’t stretch or massage numbers, because we believe that a well-executed business strategy that results in strong investment performance is more important than persuading investors with fanciful projections. 4.

I dont think there's much massaging that could happen to either of those to make cash flow work well. 

They will have more accurate take on prevalent Cap Rates than brokers, who have an incentive to massage the numbers.

Minimum loan amount for this right now is $55k.If you can massage your income numbers and qualify for a 5.25% or a 4.25% (pretty amazing) on a landlord loan, then do that - but if you find you are passing over deals, then give this some consideration. 

If you want longevity I would stain and topcoat it with Swedish finish if available.
