and long-term relationships to help service my growing portfolio!

They have provided us with actual data quantifying how much a certain amenity adds to your short-term rental revenues.I tell all my STR investors/second-home buyers in Colorado to get a hot tub, for instance, but while I know you do better, it's been hard to put numbers to it.AirDNA's March report has tried to tell us how much more revenue a home with X amenity gets over a home without X amenity.

As long as you do the accounting correctly, you account for it.

I am NOT interested in owning any more real estate (retired here man) so I had planned on just paying my 15% long term Capital Gains tax rate and moving on to my "safe money" retirement program of MYGA's / CD's and High yield Savings account / Bonds / some Stocks.

If I could choose between earning $5,000/month from 10 doors, or from 5 doors, I would pick 5 doors all day long!

@Bunmi Joo Yes we do short term rentals ! 

I also have an investment strategy in place (core/core+ investments, minimal to no rehab, aiming for 8%-12% IRR over a long holding period).

Yes, I have contacted a few lenders to find the best terms/rates.

In other words, sufficient capital for the cash purchase of a property (plus rehab) and eventually refinancing the completed project to a long term loan.

I haven't seen any lenders willing to do second mortgages, especially to get up to 100% (or anywhere close to it) of the purchase price for an investment property in a long, long time.
