I visit and analyze the property, and estimate rehab costs (with experienced inspectors and contractors), add a buffer for unexpected repairs, and provide a financial model with an ROI comparison of a traditional rental vs. short-term rental.Any guidance/tips (positive comments only please) would be greatly appreciated!

It depends what the math says keep in mind that on air bnb you will have significantly higher management costs and you will have cleaning costs that would not be present in a traditional rental.

They may not have as nice online tools, apps, fancy sites like your traditional big banks but we’re good to work with.

I’m looking in the Southern NH area and I’m finding more properties that seem to work as owner occupied compared to straight rentals. 

If this group of tenants moved in 5 years ago, compare the gallonage of water used  with what was used before they arrived. 

One comment I notice on my reports says "The balances on your accounts are too high compared to loan amounts." 

I've invested in/renovated a number of single family properties in the suburbs of Philadelphia (Mainline), with values ranging from $400k-$1.3m and decided to tackle a significantly larger project 6 months ago; comps were incredible with high sale prices and very low days-on-market, it looked like a home run.The loan is under an LLC but with a personal guarantee; the renovations are complete and the house is beautiful, but the market has been unbelievably slow compared to the previous 3 years, on which our financials were based. 

Another poster a few days ago asked a similar question and much of the advice was focusing on doing non-traditional MF.

I was comparing apples to apples but apparently an LLC through another business avenue is treated differently than RE.

The prices seems good (I hear a lot of people saying its over-valued but when comparing to CA prices, it seems much better and affordable).
