As someone actively investing in STRs and looking to scale, this raises some concerns for me about the long-term viability of this strategy.I understand the tension between hotels and STRs, especially in popular tourist destinations, but I’m curious:How real is this threat?

Several factors indicate the company is not that concerned about efficiency or ease of customer process: the website, a process that seemed to focus on one issue at a time instead of all issues at once, and consistently poor communications and lack of common sense from the loan analyst we were assigned.It started off very well with the initial point of contact, Austin Lornson, who did a fine job of explaining the general refinancing process, responding quickly and thoroughly to our questions.

Points I can roll into the cost and don't mind a buy down if necessary.My primary concern is the bleed rate monthly for the build, Airbnb stabilization and the year after while we season it and prep for final financing for long term hold.

These are just some of my thoughts and concerns.

that's a huge concern of mines now

They had no interest in the mobile home; they just wanted the property so another family member could build a home on it.

If.a general inspector sees something of concern they will then recommend a structural engineer review the property. 

Hello BP,
New investors , how are you locating easy hard money lender or Pml ? w/o strict credit requirements

The irony is most who post in these forums about entity formation and asset protection are solely concerned with preparedness for when claims arise without understanding the true ramifications, don't know the difference between being a certificate holder and additional insured status,  what indemnification means etc.

@Lorenzo Wright, Once I've established a relationship with them, I'm not as concerned.
