If you can go 'Full Doc" another words use income to qualify plus rents it would be worth it to take a look at other options.I would be interested in knowing what program you are using and the property type.  

We have very good rebates for Full home Batteries even without Solar roofs, Texas utility customers could make back money if you program the Home energy system to recharged at a low peak pricing to use at peak pricing.

Again, that's all fine and good but the numbers have to work which is why I was hoping to speak to someone with first hand knowledge of owning a property or properties in the town without an axe to grind like the Seabrook sales people.On the issue of negative STR regulations roughly half the houses in the town are in their rental program currently so I don't see that as an issue in the future as an investor as it's baked into the town's business model and not likely to change.

This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.

@Khandbari Rai pros- you can make a  smaller  payment ( the Int ony  payment ) for  up to 10 yrs    ...cons - the rate for this program is slightly higher than regular amortizing loan ...if you make the min payment - your loan balance  will not move  down at all  over  10 yrs  -  the lender  uses the  full amortizing  payment for qualifying  ...at the end of 10 yrs - the lender will change the payment to a  fully amortizing payment for the  remaining balance over the  remainder of the loan term ( likely to be 20 yrs)

I think if it is one lease then I have a program solution for that.

In my opinion, Airbnb is trying to offer as PMS type functions as they can and be as user friendly as they can so people will ditch the PMS and OTA and only list on Airbnb. 

Be sure to have a written business plan and run your comps through a reliable software program before placing an offer on a property to make sure the numbers match your goal for the investment.

I already have a B.S in Engineering (~10 years ago) from a 4-year university, so I'm thinking to enroll at a local 4 year University that offers a minor program in real estate.

On that same note, see if you qualify for any down payment assistance programs/grants. $50k per year you may be eligible.Have you went through the pre-approval process?
