Thanks for an exceptional post on the subject, Chris.

If you buy with cash, there is no required waiting period to get a mortgage after the purchase (google the "delayed financing" exception).

Similar situation as the first, except that it has been 'pending' for 3 months.How should I weigh my options? 

The draw of an umbrella is that with very few exceptions it will be the least expensive policy you will ever buy.

I'm sure there are some BRRR possibilities here but, those would be the exception, not the rule.

This is exactly what I did and self lending is very similar except now you get a cash back bonus from it basically.

If you've purchased in cash, you're not subject to the usual 6-month seasoning period before you can refinance (google the "delayed financing exception").

We manage 29 properties, and this weekend, 28 of them are booked, except for this one.

@Eric SchroederLooking at doing the same thing except using the equity for a new construction duplex.

We have a "no refund" policy except for Airbnb bookings, which are covered with their "strict" cancellation policy.At this point in time our response to guests who are wondering if they can cancel & receive a refund because they don't want to travel during the coronavirus situation is "Sorry, no refund."
