Each franchisee is unique and has a different way of doing business.

@Dennis SmithWe know of 4 major and consistent content-producers in this space:Al Williamson - Offers a course, ongoing coaching, monthly group meetings, been a landlord a long time, we took his course in 2020 at a discounted rate--our view it was worth every penny; Based in Northern CA Jesse Vasquez - Great YouTube content, unique takes, often wears his hat on backwards during his videos; Based in CAKellie Michelle - Great YouTube content, clear and concise, Based in smaller midwest cityErin Spradin - Wrote a book, good YouTube content, Unsure where she is basedMy sense is that Al has been at it the longest, but they all seem good to me, though we've only taken Al's course.

However, I still learned a lot since short term rentals have unique insurance needs that aren't always met with traditional policies.

It’s a very unique situation, but looking for some guidance!

For your client's cash-out refinance on an adult family home in Washington State, it would be helpful to reach out to lenders who specialize in DSCR loans, especially those experienced with unique property types like adult family homes.Contact Local Lenders: Start with local banks and credit unions in Washington that offer DSCR loans, as they may have specific programs tailored for adult family homes.

However, I just checked a national underwriter's manual, and it appears CD's are insurable, but there are criteria unique to them. 

We're never going to fix this supply problem for housing unless we can juice the number of builds getting done to where its back to normal (i.e. pre boom times from 2005 to 2008).The federal government should do the exact same thing to stretch the money.  25k down payment assistance for first time home buyers who buy new construction homes as a no interest loan payable only upon sale or transfer (i.e. if the person dies and someone inherits, that 25k could be called due). 

According to data from the Housing Authority of Baltimore City, demand for vouchers remains high, and resources are stretched thin.

Although there are best practices, everyone prefers to set it up with their own unique flavor.

If we can agree that 'knowledge' is an asset (an intangible asset) then there may be some common ground in the view that those with unique knowledge that is in low supply but high demand get paid more for their knowledge than those with common knowledge that can be obtained anywhere or from anyone for free.
