I have income income to off-set some negative months.What do you all think is a better idea?

Airbnb on the other hand is dependent upon how you set up your calendar.

I just need some help setting it up for this particular application.

Everyone gets set up for a win - and we watch each other prosper.

It all depends on how you initially set up the the GL,AP,AR,IN.

You are a prime target ( tough to fund deal) want to do it really bad and they tell you what you want to hear but its going to be 10k to 20k for due diligence. 

Make a ton of cash, to get set up for the next property.#2...I understand duplex is on your mind, but from what I see these days in terms of pricing and rent, most people wouldn't really consider it a hack, because probably in the best scenario with a 3.5-5% down mortgage you'll be subsidizing your tenant.#3 At this point I would have a good lender or two in your pocket that have run different options for you based on what you qualify for loan wise. 

Now I don't know if you are a believer in the tomfoollery of these asset protection gurus who have you set up multiple LLC's but, however, that theory of keeping everything in separate vaults does not work with getting a NonQM bank statement loan for example which could be used as income.You live in the property- owner occupancy also limits you from many commercial or DSCR type loans.

It takes several steps out of the traditional process of setting up a phone appointment.

(Unless that would introduce too many transportation hassles for your target audience.)
