And what company/bank do you think gives the best opportunity/deal all things considered?

Or is it okay and perhaps best that all monies go to landlord/owner and they pay out?

I’ve been looking at data on rental properties in Destin and Panama City Beach, and certain amenities seem to drive higher booking rates.

If you're bankable shop around and you will be competitive on rate and terms with banks without going through this arduous process of forming these unnecessary structures, transferring title and incurring additional transactional fees etc.

I’d appreciate some feedback on my current approach and advice if any.Here’s what I’ve done so far:Pre-Approval: I’ve secured a pre-approval amount and interest rate from an online mortgage lender.Property Analysis: I’m using the mortgage and STR calculators from BiggerPockets to assess the financials for potential properties.Neighborhood Research: I’ve been exploring different neighborhoods using Niche to get insights into schools, safety, and livability.AirDNA: I’m considering subscribing to AirDNA for data on occupancy rates and rental income estimates.Questions:Is AirDNA worth the investment for STR data?

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

One of our handymen is a porter at another co-op with similar guidelines and he reports that the majority of unit owners find ways to keep their apartments rented long-term vs. moving back in.All the best!

It is usually first through a general auction and if it doesn't sell there, then it goes to the MLS.Keep in mind bank owned properties aren't always the best deals.

One option is to "charge them" rent for the new sq ft at market rates.  

I'm wondering about my best options, so I'm turning to this forum for some opinions.
