Multiple members who could be the person in charge of the Airbnb profile.

If a nearby hotel is charging $650 per night for a 1000 square foot suite and keeping it occupied, would I not be able to charge the same for a 1921 mansion that sleeps 10 people comfortably?

I do not have a traditional W2 job so I can't pursue the typical conventional loan or a FHA since I don't have income (hence the DSCR route).However, I've seen that most DSCR lenders do not lend if the loan amount is less than $100K.

We charge a transparent monthly fee for this and our digital property management platform - but we are not a local property manager.We also give owners the ability to use a repair triage service and our vendor network, or address repairs with their own handyman.Our goal is to make renting better for owners and residents.

Two separate property appraisers (at the direction of the lender) were sent out to appraise, and neither was willing to appraise it as a "residence", and thus financing fell through (conventional primary loan).

There are conventional strategies and unconventional strategies to get started in real estate. 

I just acquired one from a PM where they were charging a tenant a resident benefit package and a building protection plan.  

My company The Property Center (TPCrents.com) charges 10% only if you have one property.

Hiring someone to do the work will likely cost too much (I would charge a small fortune, it's an incredible amount of work) and doing things as cheaply as possible will bite you in the *** later when you start having issues with your own shoddy work and/or materials.

As you know, marketing and price are both very important, and vacancy will significantly impact your income, so you are almost always better off charging a lower price and getting it filled with a good tenant.
