I'm having most trouble analyzing the financed scenario.  

@Jack Thanadabouth I'm continuously analyzing different markets.

Learn how to analyze RE deals.

All that being said, I still make time to analyze, view and make offers on properties.

Owner-held mortgage.  3 units I can alternate between AirBnb and/or longterm rental (probably averaging 2,400 rent roll first 2 years - long term tenants -, then after some reno, and new turnover, Bnb, averaging about 6-8,000 month, really) because it's located in a place short on hotels and BnB's in a very popular town.

This is hard for most investors because buying what is not popular is frightening."

Start analyzing properties as you find motivation.

Also, I like to point out that I did not try to imply anything about you or your project but as a lender I always analyze for worst case scenario.Good luck with you project,George

I'm ready to repeat and looking/analyzing deals every morning.Here is my question:  If I buy and rehab and then don't find suitable tenants how successfully can I proceed to the refinance step (assuming I am 70% or better LTV)?

First off this property is located in a trendy, millenial, good school district, clean neighborhood, low crime, close to public transit, good walking paths and to a popular tourist attraction.
