Yes it's difficult to overcome all these issues. that's why i am asking for recommendations here, I already know that its very difficult to get a mortgage via traditional methods. 

Will VRBO use the new bill pay platform?  

Most wont do this because they don’t have any specific buyers; they aren’t knowledgeable enough to have confidence in their own ability to analyze the property; they have no money; and or their not really committed to their “business”.If I want someone to “try” to sell my property I can list it with a real estate broker where I’ll be able to obtain the highest market price at the time and have it exposed on a national basis through all the major online platforms.

The dilemma is...do we wait to find the right property to BRRRR which we will have to use much of our cash for down and any rehab over runs, then refinance 6mo later to hopefully pull most or all of our money out to do it again, OR...buy this rental traditionally, cash flow, gain experience, and use it to find a partner with money to start BRRRRing property with 50% or less in return due to no or little cash in the deals?  

Best to shop around as others have said, look for a bank that prefers commercial landing vs traditional  retail in my opinion is a better long term choice.

You can post a vacancy and it will cross-list to other platforms; 2.

Traditional construction loan.

For some reason he doesn’t want to go to through The traditional route, should I be concerned for this, or is this sometimes normal.

To be clear I wouldn’t be house hacking these and therefore wouldn’t qualify for the traditional FHA loans (i.e. live in it).

Hi folks-We've operated two traditional rental properties in DC for the last few years, but are unfamiliar with Airbnb and short-term rental regulations and strategies.
