Batch is good for built in ad ons.I’ve come to realize neither program is going to be perfect.

Believing First Doubting later: This is a fact of our brains, they are programed for a time when the only source of information came from firsthand experience; our five senses.

This process can take a couple of months if the tenants are cooperative, but will likely take 6+ months and possibly over a year.Do you know if the tenants for the subject property are cash tenants or program/voucher recipients?

You will have to meet the criteria but it is doable.There are a bunch of lenders on here that have programs so get with them, like @Jeff Chisum and see what's what.

I went to a learn-on-the-site program that our local REIA had recently.  3BR/3BA house, owner is probably in 145K after fix up (I know the purchase price, don't know what was spent to get it ready after purchase) and a handful of years later it's now worth 190K. 

I have been working in the Cleveland markets for 10 + years with various govt programs, LOVE IT.

I agree with @Connor Hibbs's comment on terms for first time flippers and if this is something you want to start doing more frequently I'd look for lenders that offer some type of rewards program to gain better terms through doing repeat business.

Which program?

Oh, and the platforms are actually more friendly to the buyers than sellers. that is why they will take money from hosts on practically any complaint from a guest, or suspend a persons listing until they can prove/disprove any guest allegation.Airbnb’s big focus has been making users able to just use Airbnb system instead of using third-party programs like cleaning calendars or pricing system.

In terms of the second scenario, the upside I see is the option to get a different kind of loan (say, FHA with a lower down payment and other assistance programs for K-12 educators like me) since I'd be getting a new primary residence instead of a second home.
