Stick to these metrics and prioritize them over general rules.

I’d argue that most condo/townhome buyers prioritize their lifestyle over anything else.

For that reason, I have updated the precautions and practices I have established to help prevent the spread of germs and prioritize the health and wellness of everyone involved.

@Caroline C. thank you for the valuable questions, also really good advice with the 30 day cancellation notice, I had never thought of prioritizing that! 

I don't generally ask if they lead has other property in the area, but I will absolutely ask about financing/proof of funds, timeline, future goals, etc. before scheduling a showing with a new lead.But another way, if someone called me to discuss real estate, and then wouldn't answer a basic real estate question like "do you own real estate", I probably wouldn't be prioritizing them as a potential buyer.My advice is that if you are going to cold call Realtors to discuss real estate (as opposed to building a relationship with one or two), then plan to have a two way conversation about your real estate business instead of expecting them to just hop in the car and show some random guy their listing.

However if you prioritize cash flow over extracted value (I do not and neither does most other successful RE investors), you can achieve outstanding cash flow simply by not extracting value

Considering your circumstances, I would suggest prioritizing your student loans by using a portion of the equity, perhaps around $100k.

@Chris BreezyThis is how I would prioritize my investment:401k up to match -> HSA (if HDHP) -> IRA -> Max 457 (if you have it) -> Max 401k -> Max After-Tax 401k (if allowed) -> 529 (if desired) -> Brokerage Account

What I ended up finding out from this is two main things.  1) it's believed that Airbnb prioritize listings that are booked out into the future.

Unlike traditional lenders, private lenders often prioritize the property's value over extensive documentation like paystubs, work history, or tax returns.
