Will lenders entertain an early-stage conversation about how much I can potentially borrow across a few different properties? 

We sprayed the wood that was damaged with a combination of bleach and multipurpose cleaner - not sure if that got rid of it or just masked the smell enough...

I know probably several hundred co-brokes and I have worked with many as an investor before I got licensed and started a team.A combination of several reasons: Real estate agents are in an industry that is easy entry and it rewards networking much more than actual skills (let that one sink in), because consumers don't know how to vet agents and it becomes mostly about trust - so you work with your friend's cousin, because he said she's great.

I own 2 of the units for STR that I kept empty last service period just to get a gauge on things and the 4 other units still managed to use a combined 43,000 gallons which makes a $860 bill total that is split between Louisville Water@$321 and Sewer@$539.

But if you need more cash in hand now and can handle the higher fees and reduced cash flow, option 1 could make sense.As for shopping around, it might be worth getting a few more quotes, especially if you think you can find something that combines the best of both worlds—a decent LTV and lower fees.Hope this helps!
