Sam, I/we are not close to you at all but ...

When we are asked as the owner if I am licensed and I say no every attorney or broker dealer says “that’s smart”.

I have been investing in real estate for over 20 years, but have no experience in short term rentals like Airbnb.

We have chosen to target 5-6 bedroom homes in Kissimmee, FL due to the excellent short term rental market.

(I figure worse he can do is say no and then we're in the same place as we are now).  

Either way - it takes a few minutes to drag and drop a whole folder onto a listing photo upload page and then order them in a meaningful fashion (front of house or major feature first, etc) - adding individual photo descriptions is a PITA though.You're exactly on point about the paperwork - sellers should be filling this out, not agents.

I have a small mobile home park that we are expanding and I am looking for some info of some of the management programs available.

Since we are total amateurs, we don't which way is better (either get a property for short term or invest that extra cash .Any help will be appreciated!

I'm working for a family run real estate investment company and we are starting to expand into the DFW area from OKC.

My loan officer left a message the next day and said we could not use the HELOC for the whole down payment and that we needed to show we are using some of our savings - he said he would be in trouble with the underwriter.
