But it’s not everything - this software is optimizing for the host’s success and not balancing that enough with the guest experience.

Is this home in the beach a new construction or an existing home?  

They all have "cutting edge" software and "exclusive, and newly developed" systems that nobody in the whole wide world has knowledge of.  

But those same banks stuck with me and allowed me to pivot and build up my new construction side using bank debt intead of HML.. etc etc.

Also, it often helps to connect with a local agent/do extensive due diligence on renovated/new construction properties to see what the property may sell for or appraise for (if doing BRRRR method) as that can impact the price you should pay.

This may be to deliberately prevent discovery of other electrical issues or prevent fire/injury.You will need some form of hard money or construction financing to purchase the property as is, and you will need to get the property occupant-ready to pass an appraisal before permanent financing is on the table.

Especially now, I am seeing a lot of people who bought during or right after the COVID pandemic and are in situations where they simply cannot sell their homes for any profit (many of them bought as new construction).

This has pluses and minuses.If your property is bulletproof such as no framing - cinder block construction, cement floors, gloss white paint slapped on the walls and a cheap window mount AC, then you are in a prime position to make money with S8. 

I run a turnkey provider and built new construction single-family homes in the area.

Construction cost was $240k and the bank only required 10% down.
