PartnershipsI would suggest 1, 5, or 6Note this table is from 2022 so rates are up a little higher...

Is 10% down for a vacation /second home a standard rate?

Once you figure out pricing for weekdays, you can also start offering those additional weeknights to your weekend guests for a discounted rate.

The rates will be higher than FHA or conventional financing.

Before you put dow $5-20K for training think about how much you woud have to invest to get that back at typical interst rates of 6% that most tax ae properties get bid down to. 

I don't like the higher rate and fees. 

Will rates come down enough to make sense? 

I talked to this guy and he will be flying out here to meet with me in a couple of weeks.

I would meet people in your market in person, look up agents that are doing a lot of deals, I would go to meetups, and I would be networking in your market like a madman to get people that you can do a deal with! 

It is also a little bit of speculation on my part that 1) home values will continue to appreciate at or above the inflation rate and 2) that eventually rates may drop 1 - 2% (I am at 7.5% on my most recent refinance) and will be able to do a cashout refi in 2 - 5 years.What are other's thoughts on this?
