Hey @Corbin Wright, so this site came up earlier and I am a little dubious.Essentially, just because the property is working now, doesn't assure future success.So much goes into creating a successful STR that it can be difficult for those that have never done it to maintain the level of success.They want you to subscribe as well as pay for the "Pro" subscription.

I worked previously in IT Quality Assurance for 16+ years in the Financial Sector. 

I can assure you in in upscale and luxury, having a place to put clothing - be in nice closet organizers w drawers or a dresser, is likely a requirement to deliver on expectations in those price points. 

I've opted to go with the second lender as he has assured me my rate will be %3.75 at closing also with a cash out option.Anyone else experience mixed messaging as it relates to this fee?

A LOT of distrress is leading to mergers and firings, in just the last few weeks, this happened: (Big credit to @NewsLambert)Lower to acquire Universal Lending retail and wholesale operations (11/1/23)Trustar Mortgage acquired by Archer Mortgage, LLC (11/1/23)People’s Bank of Commerce to exit residential mortgage lending (10/27/23)BMO Bank cutting 228 jobs in Northern California (10/25/23)Homestar Financial to wind down operations (10/25/23)City National Bank layoffs in Los Angeles total 71 (10/23/23)Hometown Lenders layoffs (10/12/23)First Savings Bank to lay off 135 mortgage workers (10/4/23)Wesley Mortgage absorbs competitor Colten Mortgage (10/4/23)Cenlar to lay off 85 in Ewing, NJ (10/2/23)Rithm Capital to acquire Computershare Mortgage Services Inc.

However personality aside I can assure you that he is driven and very serious about his clients well being..

Secondly, if this fails, he offers insurance through Equity Assurance that basically pay offs the underlying note through refinance.

One thing I can assure you is that there is always a deal to be found somewhere though.

The more I think about that interaction, the more I'm assured that I made the right call.

As someone who has bought and sold property overseas, I can assure you.
