I have a current deal in process and my hard money lender (Zeus Lending) is taking about a month to do a simple draw request for work that has been completed.

Youtube literally holds your hand throughout the entire process. 

That said, each individual lender will vary slightly in HOW they underwrite expenses for your DSCR, so it's very important to ask each potential lender about their process.

If the price point is feasible I'd advise to do your first flip locally that way you can build systems and processes and gain the experience of doing a flip while being able to monitor close by.

It's typically a double skip process, first to skip trace the registered owner/manager/agent of the LLC or trustee of the trust.

Need to put processes in place even with property management.

I'm in the process of trying to find a lender either in the US or Canada that will work with Canadian buyers which will allow me to take on bigger projects and reduce my own capital investment.

I have been in the process of learning how to run the numbers myself as well as with help with very experienced agents on my team who have worked with many many investors. 

I do not have previous data to compare bookings because we purchased the property and immediately hired the designer but I wholeheartedly believe that our bookings especially for longer stays are correlated to our property having amenities and design language that attracts people.
