If the permanent financing will allow you to recover most of your initial investment and the fair market rent covers the principal, interest taxes, and insurance with cash left over, you have a BRRRR.

Let me also take a moment to thank my parents who instilled in me strong values and the foundation for success!

Offer a great first-stay experience with thoughtful touches like welcome gifts and clear communication to earn those initial positive reviews.For Big Bear’s rules, stay on top of local ordinances—maybe even connect with other hosts for advice.

My goal is fix and flip but I need to raise capital for the initial investment. 

Their numbers did not always add up from the initial calls to the follow up, and I believe the returns they are offering are super aggressive.

Option D: you are considered a "disqualified person" to your IRA and as such are prohibited from engaging in any transaction in an IRA or receiving any benefits from the IRA (directly or indirectly), therefore I strongly suggest you avoid this option if you wish to stay out of trouble. 

If they’re late a third time, you have a strong case for eviction for habitual non-payment—without risking the tenant showing up at the 11th hour with the money.For your specific circumstances, with only a partial month behind, I would guess there is a decent chance they can come even on rent and it would be a waste of your time.

I wanted to use the camera footage as evidence in a civil case against the tenant.I was initially told that it would take 2 weeks to get the footage to me, then that blew out to several months, and now finally 6 months later they finally get back to me and tell me the footage doesn't exist, even though the initial report said cameras were activated.That footage would have shown that the tenant was making threats to damage my property (which she made good on).Do I have any recourse on the police for failing to provide the footage on a timely basis?

The S8 portion will very likely arrive like clockwork on the 1st of the month.One strong motivation for the tenant to pay is they lose their voucher if they are evicted or leave owing you a balance.

If you move to NYC, focus on maximizing your earning potential while investing in affordable out-of-state markets with strong rental demand, like San Antonio or Indianapolis.
