Despite these challenges, we didn't lose money.

Its way easier to pierce the corporate veil than you think, and you'll most likely spend time/money on an LLC and it wont matter. 

As you've now likely wasted (or will waste) money on an inspection. 

There’s many names for it, hard money, private money, reno loan, bridge loan. 

I mean what are they getting for the extra money.

Private money lender How did you add value to the deal?

I started hosting on Airbnb when I would go away on business or on vacation, and began to really enjoy the hosting experience and that high of making money from a passive investment.

I've been wanting to finally jump into the game but have been hesitant as I'm relatively young (mid-20's), recently started my career, building up some of my own money, and just been nervous to make the jump.

But you have to be careful where you invest and who you invest your money.
