Our agents are instructed to take their shoes off and ask applicants to do the same... it conveys that the unit is clean to the applicant and also starts the expected condition for the property.

STR are hard for this, most banks are slow to become comfortable with newer trends and without operating history they can't underwrite your income because you are essentially signing 1 day leases on these properties. 

Given my years of practice and the number of clients and returns we complete each year, I am very comfortable with the positions we take, and I wish you continued success.

Feel free to connect and talk about it if you don’t feel comfortable sharing where everyone can see!

I want to be able to cash flow so I do nothing unless I am flowing the $$$ at numbers I am comfortable with.

I’m planning to circle back with our host today (who is more of a corporate-type host with hundreds of STRs around the country who compares themselves to a “fine hotel” in all their advertising, and are priced like a fine hotel, which is why I feel comfortable holding them to at least some of the same standards as a fine hotel) and see if they have made any adjustments to their policy as the plot has thickened in the last week.

Get out of your comfort zone and start talking to the players in the game, create meaningful relationships that provide mutual value. 

We manage in town, but I don't feel comfortable enough to purchase in NB myself.

Those are excuses for remaining in your comfort zone. 

If your rental is up and running, you have a safety net you're comfortable with, but don't want a bolus of money sitting unused, is it possible to put the funds into a brokerage that would allow the purchase of stocks, mutual funds, or something similar?
