Don't take this personally, but that is not considered particularly attractive granite, it's old school 'speckled' granite.

Driving traffic to your direct booking site, if you have one, can definitely be a challenge but I personally believe it's becoming more important all the time, particularly for STR.

There's < 2 months of seasoning for the purchase, cash into the deal is ~$975k w/o rehab (minimal planned so far - turnkey), purchased the property for 35-40% below assessed value, 825+ FICO, and would optimally like to pull out $975K-$1.15M of equity.Main scenarios we've thought of to accomplish this are: 1) structure sale of property from SMLLC to self and secure 30-year new purchase financing on deal (unsure if legal and tax implications if above initial cost basis)2) delayed financing (LTV restrictions a concern)3) cash out refi (seasoning concerns)4) DSCR (seasoning and rate competitiveness concerns)5) one of the above plus a HELOC, personal loan, etc.?
