Only local agents/real estate professionals who know the area house by house and can see, touch and smell the property can price a listing well, period.

I am under contract on a lake front house but still in the due diligence period - I just learned that it's designated flood zone A.

The benefit of working with DSCR lenders is that those lenders generally have shorter seasoning periods to use for doing a cash out on the new appraised value- such as three or six months.

If you do go under contract, make sure you have ample DD period and that there are contingencies included so you can get your earnest money back. 

Also, there have been several hosts that have come over from airbnb during that period.

Make sure if you go into a contract (no option period), you require a substantial earnest money.

@Noah Schulz what does the lease state about payment and what period the payments cover?

My timeline for turning over vacancies is strictly four weeks, which is the maximum acceptable period between a tenant moving out and the arrival of a suitable new tenant.

@Katie Balatbat is there a minimum time period before the TIC needs to be created? 

Thus allowing you to set automatic late fees in case the tenants doesn't pay before the end of grace period.
