Hey BP people, I created a spreadsheet to help underwrite and analyze airbnb and short term rentals. 

Some investors want to get paid back within 12 months (most hard money lenders), while some lenders (friends) may be OK with a longer multi year term.

long term appreciation and value add potential How did you finance this deal?

You may need to focus on long-term wealth building instead of short-term cash flow. 

Trying to have me spend 25-35k after the workshop under the guise of being a “unique” client they’d like to “develop and mentor” as a long-term partner/client adds a level of slimy. 

For the past two years, I have been doing mid-term and short-term rentals for two of the bedrooms. 

Please correct me if im wrong.That said it seems the airbnb short term rental business is doing okay (some cash flow?).

The joys of short term rental hosting.

Together, we negotiated favorable terms with the seller, ensuring a beneficial deal.

We you are getting paid in arrears it's very hard to front all the money to pay the subs...often times too many projects are taken on ana then Peter is Robbed to pay Paul.My suggestion is to first READ THE CONTRACT, then based on the contract terms give him a VERY CLEAR & SPECIFIC TIMELINE to rectify the work if it isn't done you  MUST move immediately.
