The guest found you on the platform, so the platform provider deserves compensation for the marketing service they provided.

Yeah makes sense - the thing is they will pay market price for a lot of these my friend.

This includes how you furnish, what rate you rent it for, how you market and find your target customer.

One of the good things about DSCR Lenders is that the guidelines and programs are different and not cookie-cutter 100% equivalent like conventional lenders that all must mirror the GSEs, etc.Most DSCR Lenders will have similar rates and terms and generally similar processes - so generally what will make the "best" one is the best one for your needs - I would focus on any specialties or niches - like short term rentals, if you do multifamily or mixed use, BRRRR Method or focus in on a specific market - find someone who specializes and has a good track record in that niche or area

I own a half dozen residential rentals, but with high prices lately decided to move into commercial real estate for the first time, which seems to be a much more depressed market at the moment.  

I know that Sandpiper and Pelican at Destin West might be harder to do with VA because of how their covenants were structured by the initial builder.

I have my own rental units too and have not wondered outside my market... yet!

You’re in an exciting and booming market there in the DFW metroplex as I'm sure you've noticed.

I'd love to move into this full-time but not sure how to structure the initial crew, compensation and insurance.

You don't need to have an agent (although that would be great, but it's not a good use of their time until you are pre-approved and ready) because there are Open Houses every weekend in every market.
