When they don't take advice and call it criticism or call us mean, what they are really doing is putting a light up into the sky for all of the gurus to come collect them and their money.

It does amazing job, it's a matter of turning all lights and placing the camera in different places around the room.

You could even say- I know it's early but we are lightly thinking about next year and decided if we have to renovate (or whatever).

Welcome to Bigger Pockets Edwin,It might be safer to start out with a house hack or buying a light value add rental.I’m an investor based out of Columbus, OH.

Kudos From the Easy Street Website for all lenders below :For our Short Term Rental Loans (STR Loans), We combine the traditional 30-year fixed rate residential mortgage product with flexible and hassle-free underwriting, delivering quick and efficient 30-day closes and non-intrusive documentation requirements (no tax returns, no income verification).Light DocumentationOur process allows investors to avoid the mountains of endless paperwork and intrusive document-gathering common with our competitors.

o Full doc (pay stubs, taxes, personal DTI) or light doc (asset-based, DSCR)?

In my case that made enough of a difference to make property management very light.

As long as you have at least 20% down, assets for reserves + closing costs, and your rent covers the debt service 1:1 - it should be a green light just about anywhere.

HomeGoods also had a ton of great pieces on offer when I was furnishing my Airbnb - lamps, mirrors, side tables, chairs, stools, kitchen and bathroom accessories, throw pillows, blankets, etc.I am very much NOT a fan of Ikea furniture - most of it is recognizable (not in a good way), looks and feels cheap, and also doesn't hold up well at all over time, but certain pieces may have a time and place in your rentals (lighting, kitchen accessories, silverware/plates/bowls, etc).  

When I convert it to a rental, I'll take them down for light fixtures, so long as comparable rentals don't have ceiling fans.
