Initially it was more prominent but most are used to it nowYes, I saw some statistics from a big transaction manager and the seller is paying both sides of the commission in almost every transaction.

My role will be running day to day operations/ property management/ taking calls and running all activities after the rehab.Our initial thoughts are 1/3 equity.Quick Rental details: we purchased the home for 30k.

Quote from @Marc Shin: Hello,For the financing of a BRRRR, are there lenders that are willing to include the costs of Airbnb set up (i.e. furnishings) in the initial hard money loan for a BRRR? 

Initially I started with a single family and scaled to multi family.

I'm a little confused on the initial financing...So you put 75k down on a 230k house - so 32.6%.

The operation of an STR has almost nothing to do with real estate and 100% to do with hospitality, that is where you can distinguish yourself from other operators, provided you made a good decision in your initial purchase. 

Have you reached your initial goals?

I have a potential private lender, but I need to determine if this is a viable investment opportunity and explore the best financing options You posted this same thing three times - in two it was a 36 unit and in the third a 32 unit.Do you have any other details about the transaction or perhaps wish to share your initial analysis so the volunteers here can poke holes in it or tell you why you're right?

If you don't know what you're doing, 40-60% lump sum initially, 15-20% tranches in dollar cost averaging is best. 

So marriage to someone that initially talked good game is not a surefire sign of long lasting happiness.
