Read some studies (but consider who paid for them and their motivation :-) And cities like LA, Seattle, NY cannot blame the vacation rental market for their housing problems, those are the result of failed policies by years of leadership....Vacation rentals have many benefits over standard rentals that you might consider a) they open up areas to vacationers that would ordinarily not be accessible (not everyone wants to stay in a hotel district).b) they almost always improve the neighborhood they are located in - the house, inside and out, must always be in near-perfect condition in order for the landlord/host to stay in business.

I find it had to imagine the services of loan holding you to prior standard or Fannie/Freddie presumably the owner of the loan to request servicer to do so.

I recently used both SoFi and Discover, both did the pre-qualification on-line stating what my amount, rate and payment would be. 

This will be time consuming and a lot of work however I am fully committed to this and have a target to hit per month as I view this as a numbers game plus the fact that I only need one good deal(to begin with that is), my question is how much info would you submit in an original offer to save time but at the same time not miss anything of importance, Im planning on having a template with my info, sales price Im offering and a standard set up of things Im willing to cover.

Remodeling to current aesthetic standards, but no major changes.

Biggest lesson learned is I treated this property as if it were my own home and had set the standard.

I recently discovered bigger pockets and so also have converted to being receptive to bank financing . 

I think this was pretty standard for C21 about 30-40-50 years ago.   

Moreover, a standard buy-out/eviction would be costly/time consuming since they've been in the unit for roughly 8 years.
