@Justin FondrenIf your credit score is in the 700–730 range, you're in a great position to secure favorable loan terms.

Just curious, is there any tax benefit to filing as a regular partnership and issuing k-1s to ourselves that show a loss?

I currently own a few properties here in Bryan-College Station, I have a full time sales job so try to stay as passive as possible. This is why I haven't done STR or anything. I'm currently only cash flowing about $10...

The crypto can be considered as EMD or down payment, the rest of the transaction will happen just as if you were running a traditional transaction.If a seller is completely against the idea of receiving crypto, you can always use a service like Bitpay to convert the cryptocurrency to cash.Last but not least, I always ask clients... why sell your crypto asset when you use it to secure a loan?

I understand this is a good way to become financially secure over time and am eager to start.  

If not, negotiate to buy it, get future cash flow secured, & take the next couple months to do the updates in between guests then get updated photos.

PM's will keep all late fees, they hold the security deposits so they collect all the interest on security deposits. 

It is nicer to use than a regular chlorine hot tub especially on your skin but I don't know if the maintenance is any better or worse, personally.

They are very likely to respond, but keep in mind you can't get dollars from a turnip.My experience is wear and damage are higher with some S8 tenants and not at all with others, just like regular tenants.

I will do my regular due diligence when dealing with a new partnership and any deals they find.
