*sorry, don't know why my @ isn't working...it shows hilited in typing/edit mode, but not when I post...oh well!

But.. it's all part of the business model.  I

The Airbnb business model is not acceptable under FHA loan rules, which means that if you purchase with an FHA mortgage, Airbnb operations are a violation of the FHA loan rules.

I know that some of the institutional investors are going in selling mode right now but the pricing would be so high, us a little guys have no hope unless we pool together resources and even then...What I'd like to see is a retail outlet aimed at the smaller investor's like us.

If there are over $1000 in taxes owed, reduce your stairstep bid by that amount.Make sure to ask the seller what their model is. 

But I also wouldn't book a cabin that is on top of a mountain, up a steep one lane mountain road if my only mode of transportation was a FWD mini van in need of new tires.

@Ash Badry I am along the same lines and my model is: Buy , Rehab  (add value), and Rent.

It may expose you to some modes of investment you are not familiar with.I would also suggest the BP Podcasts.  

But the guys are right- your BRRR model is infinite COC if you pull all the $ out plus some. 

It's definitely a balancing act, but as you start to earn more commissions, this model is much more rewarding.If you need to speak with someone who works there, PM me and I will get you their contact information.
