Hi @Philip Jones,For the refinance aspect, the main factors will be the FICO Score, cash flow of the property, and as-is value.A Higher FICO will let you get a larger loan size and lower interest rate.Good Cash Flow will ensure that your property will be profitable for you and enable you to get the max loan size that your FICO allows for.The As-is Value will play an important role in making sure that you meet the minimum requirement for a DSCR loan of 100k, but also in making sure that the rehab work that has been done provided significant value add.

Depending on what aspects you would like them to handle vs you then you may be able to negotiate that 20% down lower.Alternatively, look into medium term rentals.

I'm a rather risk averse person so I started looking at the negative aspects to make sure I was comfortable with them.

Need to look at the other aspects to show the way. 

However, I am seeking recommendations for the most effective tools and software for remotely managing my Airbnb properties, as I will not have a local short-term rental manager.Specifically, I am looking for software that can assist with property listing, pricing optimization, channel management, guest communication, and any other relevant aspects of property management.

Directly investing in real property investments, whether property, notes, tax liens, or leases requires a THOROUGH understanding of all LEGAL aspects concerning real estate law in general and the investment in particular.It’s IMPOSSIBLE for someone who hasn’t accumulated either a legal education in real estate law or 20 years active experience to have the knowledge and understanding of legal aspects sufficient to reduce legal risk to an acceptable level when investing directly in tax liens, notes or real property.  

Also understanding how things are put together, how siding works, gutters, etc (basically as many aspects of the home as possible)Having this knowledge will also help you from getting burned by contractors telling you things just so they can save time and money and deliver a crappy service. 

Plus, the confidentiality aspect makes it easier to keep investment strategies more private.If you need help with setting up a Florida land trust, please feel free to contact our office at 866-839-9163 or visit our website at https://mylandtrustee.com

You are smart to pump the brakes on scaling, but keep at the learning aspect as you guys figure out what the next step is.

Andrew was awesome in all aspects.
