In Denver where I invest it's actually a PLUS to not have the other unit considered separate because permits are only allowed for STR if you're renting out your primary residence and I know many folks who put a locking door on part of their home and have a separate external entrance to that part of the house, and rent it out as an AirBNB without it being considered an additional unit by the city.

Every goal, decision, expectation, vision and operational decision has to be lock step with each other- and that isn't even discussing the money side of the agreement.  

Since you aren't looking until next year, you wont' be able to get a rate quote now, most likely not until you are under contract and they can lock that in. 

Spend LOTS of MONEY on mass marketingThe "rate locked affect" is limiting a large portion of the market and stopping transactions from happening.

I use a Personal Finance Sheet on the Daily, so all my finance have been cut back as much as possible. 2) We locked in a 6.875% rate, So rolling my CC loan into the home verse the 11.99% is a big difference and taken advantage of the write off via the interest would help.

Who you use for your remote camera and doorpad/lock set up? 

@Chase HarmonYou should have been charging the developer for locking the project up.

I should have locked in finance over the 4 year investment life.  

Instead of actively seeking out buyers, focus on what I do here: establish credibility, showcase your knowledge and competence, and lock in high-quality deals where the numbers make sense.In this space, transparency and honesty are key.

You'll also be leaving liquidity available should a great deal come your way instead of being locked into just one project at a time.
