Quote from @Na Wilson: I have a source (depending on credit score) that can do a 90% LTV DSCR loan on non-owner occupied real estate. 

Depends on the person, but as a professional real estate investor it would be a no brainer for me.

Sometimes they’ll let you add meters and mailboxes without rezoning, but that depends on local rules, so definitely ask.For the septic, upgrading is probably a must.

In addition, the platform idea follows principles to make the best user experience and reachability possible, so any user (investor or property owner) will be able to just go onto such platform and, without leaving from it, set up every aspect to start the cash flow process in not months, not weeks, not even days or hours, but minutes.As for the yield, whether these tokens can beat an 8% return really depends on the property and how it’s performing.

It can be helpful to have that old fashioned sit down like you said, but it's no longer necessary. 

A general rule of thumb though (not a hard rule) is that if a market has a prolonged history of vacation rentals such as towns whose commerce is very dependent on tourism like beach or mountain towns, then there is a good chance than those towns have established their airBNB regulations decades ago and are likely stable.

There may be requirements to cover the trash service depending on the town.My first commercial loan was 30% down, 20 year term (adjusting after the first 5 years). 

Those tens of billions in valuation depended on pre-fire conditions.

Many of also argued that forcing out many STR's will impact our tourism revenues, which we're very dependent on, as many travelers won't come here if they have to stay in a hotel.

Both can save time and improve efficiency, depending on how hands-on you want to be.
