Things to avoid or are wastes of money/time to update?

Does anyone have any experience with raising private money for STRs?  

I want to share with you a strategy that not only unlocks the benefits of assuming existing loans but also pairs seamlessly with another powerful wealth-building tactic - House Hacking.

It seems PMs don't make a ton of money for all that they do and their incentives don't always line up with investor's incentives (i.e. getting paid more for turnover in terms of tenants when I'd prefer no turnover or vacancy).Sorry for the long intro, but having said that, I have a few questions...   

I'm trying to understand how house hacking is so profitable, putting down so little money, 3.5% or 5% would make for a hefty mortgage payment wouldn't it?

Do I put more money into these deals, or do I accept a dilution of my shares and put my money elsewhere?

Providing advice without understanding the full scope of your business and its operational plans could result in inaccurate guidance.As a hard money lender, I provide financing options for both DSCR and fix-and-flip loans.

It’s like moving money from your checking account to your savings account. 

The loan gets paid off first and any money left over is you “equity” and comes to you. 

Even without the cheap money and the cash flow, I always make the rental as sound and maintenance-free as possible before occupancy.
