Not saying you should, check first of course.Depends heavily on the AHJ where you're located and whether or not you have a pre-existing relationship with them.

The last lender I’ve tried to get a pre-approval had a, imo, patronizing response saying,”Although lots of people talk on social media about buying a three or four unit property with only 3.5% down in practice it almost never works.”All lenders who I’ve tried to give a pre-approval for has tried to sway me to switch to a 5% conventional instead.

In that case, you'd show a pre-approval letter from a lender instead of POF.  

We have a pre inspection done, then list with a clean report as any minor item as been fixed.

Our ski in/ski out STR in Colorado only went online late Dec. 2023 so my data is very limited.

There are ski resorts close to our property, and the lake is a very popular destination for families and friends to visit during the summer and fall.

Quote from @Daniel Johnson: I think the thing that is being missed here is the Profit First method of allocating revenue to different “buckets” there are banks that do this automatically for you, whereas, with a traditional bank you would manually have to do this.Are these buckets brand new accounts withe one bank for the same business, or are the buckets new accounts under a pre-exsing account?

It might just be a mute point. if you had a pre existing relationship with a buyer it should take care of itself.
