All super helpful - and a good reminder to lean into the context of my local market.

Super dry.

Super curious....how did you come to that conclusion?

Super cool idea I think - win-win for everyone, you make extra $, cleaner makes extra $, guest gets what they want and can have a unique memorable experience.Opens the door for lots of different "package" types What's the downside?

They were super slow, had literally no idea how to read a basic purchase agreement contract, messed up on most of the paperwork, and ultimately were going to cause us to close 2-3 weeks late, with a lot of extra fees and less LTV than originally promised.

My approach is when there is that much unreliable information, I either call it a day and walk since I have no idea what comes next or I negotiate to a super deal so that whatever I haven't been told can be taken care of.  

Now reality.. unless your using funds from a super successful business.. most most starting out are not sitting on piles of cash or have family offices.. so debt is the only way to get in the game.Also short term debt were your in and out can work.. but it also can bite you in the butt.. look at all the builders that went down in the crash.

I’m Hey Adam, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

Its worse than just being off.. 97% of those type of solicitations are from  scammers pretending to be lenders  you know pump and dump due diligence schemes quote super low rates tell you what you want to hear just need to send me 500.00 up front then another 1000..
