I have also come across those bad eggs but the one's who work hard 10 hours a day for the hope a deal closes earn their value to me.ignore and stay positive Tom, haters gonna hate no?

If you're just starting out as a STR owner, you want to make sure your photos rock, you're providing everything that you have in your own home and make sure your guests are aware of it, charge lower rates at first, then after you have some positive reviews, start to raise them slowly.  

We bought our primary residence, which is in the 'dales of Windsor Park, just on the other side of Bartholomew Park, in 2006 before any of that stuff was there.

This was on my primary.

I have a primary source of income (~100k per year), but looking to get to the point where real estate investing can be my full time gig.

There could be a lot of reasons why they are adverse to using it; they want actual cash into the deal, don't want mix assets, too much hassle to babysit another property, etc.

There is no way to know what you need to bring to the table until you have their position.

As it relates to a BK it depends on what position you are in.

However, all the numbers I run do not present with a positive cash flow.
