Hey @Dominic Pizzi - I like the change of gears, should help generate more interactions ;) My own experience has been investment financing first, then going through the regular consumer route. 

Hi BP family and MF investors,I'm looking for a community to have some forms of meet-up on a regular basis for some of our newer MF investors to hold each other accountable in actioning on building our portfolio and business, as well as sharing experiences and knowledges. 

I honestly don't understand how government manages to lose so much money.I've regularly suggested that at least 1/3 of all short-term rentals are in violation of state law, zoning, HOA rules, Landlord lease agreement, not paying taxes, or something.

It is a regular occurrence to see posts about paying too much for a value add property and not making a decent, or sometimes any, profit.  

Landlord maintenance duties not mentioned ... regular cleaning, changing lightbulbs, regular landscaping, changing filters. 4. 

What are some specifics/pros/cons of investing into vacation rental property as opposed to regular rental?

The catch is that your all cash purchase money will be scrutinized just as hard as a down payment on a regular mortgage.

Fix and Flip and Buy and Hold for regular long term tenants are probably a lot safer.

I need to replace the floor and paint the interior house (walls, trip, 2 doors) The contractor that I worked with him until now raised his prices dramatically and I would like to create a benchmark for me in order to make sure I'm not overpayingI like to ask you from your experience, how much should cost installation of the vinyl floor (materials and work) for 1 sqftAnd how much should cost regular interior paint: (walls, trip, 2 doors)  for 720sqft.

Maybe some niche program from some credit union but stand alone HELOC's at that LTV/CLTV just don't exist in the regular world.
