Any traditional product or commercial loan is going to want to see income.I own properties in that range and you can get financing.

Former NYCer here - I used to run StreetEasy's product team.

I am open to most strategies, with a particular interest in the relatively new assisted living house model.I'd love to connect with anyone who likes to talk real estate investing, and find productive meet-ups anywhere in the local area.I'm Brad.

For a standard rehab/flip loan, does the loan product support a pure "asset based" approach? 

These loans can be as various as mortgage loan products and you'll be surprised at how well these work for you in your business.

( ie. full month, 1/2 month ) Maybe you are using Obligo or another service/product that allows the tenant to pay a low nonrefundable monthly fee to insure their unit against damages.

Also don't price things aginst what they cost to rent, rental stores often times change upto 80% of the product cost to rent. 

I heard the product is excellent in water proofing. 3.

Yes, that is what i was thinking. i used quicken because they say they are friendly to AIRBNB income. i am in the process of working with another broker to shop the product around. 

I figured I'd try to put a new one out to see if there are any new faces lurking on this forum.As for your second point, I personally have found it way more productive to vet a good property manager before worrying about agents.
