From what I have researched they seem legitimate but the person I am working with is flakey, takes forever to answer questions so I thought I would see if anyone else had experience with this lender.  

It's led to incredibly high occupancy rate in the off-season, but I'd rather have a slightly lower occupancy rate in order to reduce wear and tear and leave some weekends open for personal use.I'm at a loss on what to do about this.

I want to make sure I’m as prepared as possible before diving in.Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences you can share!

I have purchased 3 STRs personally in the last 18 months and have closed on at least 25 for clients in the past 12 months.  

And thus, intelligent persons knowing this, they have no interest dealing with a low quality, poor performance, "wholesaler".

I have a friend that owns over 60 rentals in his personal name and he's never been sued.

As a person who has lived in NC & SC and Phoenix, I would highly suggest AZ.

Most DSCR lenders actually prefer you to own the property in an LLC, although some do allow you to close in a personal name.

Market timing, properly acquired property, personal capital available How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I will actually be up in NYC in April so we could also connect in person before you come down.
