I spent 10 years in Corporate Sales and Marketing--I am done with "selling." 

These pumps usually incorporate a "grinder", and you do need to educate Tenants to not flush ANYTHING other than toilet tissue.

Don't forget rugs, nightstands, beds, chairs, tables, etc.... 

@Jim Stevenson If you incorporate an LLC you and your partner can both insert funds and the LLC will be the borrower on the note.

In most markets, if the property is located in an incorporated city, that city has jurisdiction, and therefore, their planning dept covers the property.

My STRs have everything needed for living in the house, from iron and ironing board to crock pot to beach towels, beach chairs and coolers.

If you don't want to be bothered to answer a question that has already been asked 100 times, then simply don't engage and just move on to the next topic.Thanks for the observation @Ben Zimmerman.I've been thinking about incorporating search into new forum posts.

I'm heavily considering providing the option to furnish the rooms with a full-size mattress base, mattress, desk, and chair (at my choosing) with an extra $75/ month on top of the base rent.

You can also look to apply for a 203k loan as part of the FHA program and incorporate any rehab costs into the loan which will essentially help you increase the value of the property and increase your equity right away (you can search BP or google FHA loans and 203k loans for more information etc). 

For instance, determine the type of property you want to purchase, and the price range, then work backwards from there to determine how much income you'll need to prove (assuming you'll go the more traditional route of financing).In my personal case, I incorporated, and have everything invoiced through my entity.
