I'm getting to a point where I might want to pursue a lender for future investments but am trying to understand how these lenders choose people to work with.These types of lenders are called "Hard Money" because they are not betting on the borrower. 

There is a 4 bed room 2 bath home that I am looking at purchasing.

He paid for common area access, built a bed in his Land Cruiser, pocketed the rent but we had agreement on what the pocketed money could be spent on (seeing we were paying the rent). 

In times of economic stress, people may not choose to vacation in Las Vegas.

This is for my 1 bed 1 bath unit and for the past 6-7 months, I had it blocked off on Airbnb because I had a mid term tenant in there.

I'm more used to underwriting MF deals and extrapolating existing T12 data, so this is a bit different for me.All the properties are 3 beds, ranging from 1000 to 1400 sqft.

Expect to spend a considerable amount of your time speaking to people.Expect to work dozens of hours/week with little to no immediate result.Expect most of your early interest from potential clients to come from your sphere of influence.Expect to go 3-6 months without getting paid (unless you do rentals which usually pay faster)Expect to be bombarded with distractions - mainly, people/companies marketing to you so that you choose their system for quick and easy buyer or seller leads.

But it seems like the current house prices (3+ beds, 2+ baths with a pool) doesn't seem to incur a good cash flow.

You've also got 30k of equity in the property that you created, which you're choosing to leave tied up in exchange for that $100/mo.
