If you are not a Taiwanese citizen, such as a child that chose Chinese Citizenship, they are not being allowed in. 

Live in the 2br and need to do some more reno to make the studio something I'd be comfortable renting out.According to comps and our real estate agent, we have a minimum of $100k (def. more just being conservative) in equity and want to use that to really finish the studio the way we want (for Airbnb) and look to invest in another property.The issues we're bumping into is a cashout refi hasn't worked because lenders haven't been able to even get close to our interest rate (understandable) but also there are very few lenders willing to lend in the second position to an outside loan...That's the short story If anyone has any ideas we're all earsThanks

But if I keep pushing it off until I feel "comfortable" it will never happen.

@James WilliamsWell if you are comfortable with it go find a hard money lender in the area.

A lot of folks are comfortable with anything more than a year because that represents two tax years and two tax filings. 

I originally looked locally & then realized the big money makers in STR are down south - best decision I ever made was pushing myself out of my comfort zone re: long distance investing!

Best answer is whoever you feel most comfortable keeping as a tenant.

I think if I was further down the line and more comfortable with an area/the process/my numbers game then I might average it out/compensate the cash flow over other deals and put the extra back in the process.

I am much more comfortable learning the ropes and doing a deal with only 30k invested.

We like that syndication allows for one or two people to act as GPs and take ownership over projects, but have found the intricacies of it to be super complex, and are concerned that the potential investors in our network might not be comfortable with it....so basically, we're still trying to sort through all of that!
