For those not purchasing with cash, assessing income or cash flow can often come down to the terms of the mortgage financing for an AirBNB or Vacation rental. 

If she wants the more expensive ones again, give her the cash and she can apply it towards the cost of the more expensive version.

It is common to offer above asking price to sweeten the pot as many owners would simply rather collect the cash upfront.What makes it a desirable offer structure?

•Recently, I completed the cash-out refinance and received $103,000 from the bank.

That said, we’re currently cash poor.

If I were to open up a separate real estate bank account, I would then have to add funds consistently from my W-9 job - which in my opinion begins to blur these two accounts together anyways.Should I still open up a separate account for this first house hack, or wait until I buy the 2nd property, which would provide consistent cash flow that will go directly into that account?

Save your cash...

I currently own 18 single-family homes in the same area (1.9m value, Cash flow avg 320 per unit).

Jose,If you can rent it out and it cash flows and not just cover the mortgage then I would advise renting and buying a new home.
