I have reached out to 2-3 contractors for estimates and also asked them to provide COI. 

REP status is specifically trying to override this $150k limit, but it's out of your reach, unless you have a spouse who can qualify.Rules for STRs (short-term rentals) are different and do not require REPS. 

Reaching out to the savvy developers here for a bit of your expertise.

My contact number is easily found (BP won't let this post with my number in it) and my email is my first and last name in full with a period in the middle at newwestern.com. 

My concern is, is this the correct path i should take in order to reach my goal of 100k a month in cash flow by 30?

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat about a particular property or you need a second set of eyes to nail down the property you're looking for. 

@Ina Howard I would reach out to a broker in your area. 

Feel free to reach out if you have additional questions.

Aloha Wei,I am reaching out because we are looking to invest in a place in KC and would like to focus on STR.

You are able to refinance pretty easily at 6 months and on an 8 unit would need to show 80% occupancy or have signed leases in hand to get the best rates/terms.
