I got into a pre-sale for a condo in Tulum, Mexico with the idea that I would Air BNB it and also go in visit through extended periods.

He settled on a niche, pre foreclosures, and when an attorney has a client needing assistance on a pre foreclosure, they would call on him.

I was forced to use them for a one bedroom ski on/off STR I held in my SDIRA and it was a nightmare for my guests.

Also, there are some weird cancellation/rescheduling rules with the Snowshoe program.Personally, I think the only way that Snowshoe works as a rental is if you are an owner that plans on using the property all ski season except big holidays (Christmas, NYE, MLK, and President's Day). 

You might start with talking to a mortgage broker & getting a pre-approval. 

Though BP is opposed to this, you can use 0% APR credit cards to pay for the repairs. 

.- Lee Canyon Ski Resort has been sold to Colorado-based Mountain Capital Partners, which will invest in capital improvements and retain the resort's leadership team and support staff; season-pass holders will have access to reciprocal days at other Mountain Capital resorts, which include Brian Head and 11 other ski and mountain-bike resorts from Oregon to Texas.

But increased to 15k/m around Mar-Apr 2020 when the stocks became cheaper.

What financial institution do you recommend to get a pre-approval?

I'm honestly baffled why there is even a debate about this.Better to pay cash or draw against a pre-arranged line of credit for short term deals, rehabs, and flips that require speed.I browsed through this thread and didn't really see any mention of what income tax does to your income on long term holdings that are debt free.On stable, boring single family residential, 60-70% medium to long term debt is definitely in order.
