They told us it's for their banker but not sure as I havent had experience before selling, this is our first family property to sell so I just am wondering. 

Courses are great if you are looking for high-level "paper experience," but the best way to learn is to jump right in.

I'm currently a buy and hold investor (utilizing various househacks), but I'm hoping to get into the STR space end of this year/early next year.In terms of your financing options, here are some things that come to mind (albeit may or may not apply to your situation):- Utilize second-home loan option (10% downpayment) if the property qualifies- Utilize a small local bank to see what loan options they may offer (perhaps some may have experience lending on STR?

A quick google search gave me a few options but I figured someone in the BP community may have the insight or experience in this lane.

Doing this from out of state and planning to hit the STR market starting June. what you quoted in Step 3 is surely ever newbie and mid level experience investor feels like.

If anyone else experiences this issue, then logout of BP.

My friend started her own business and her husband just sits around and plays golf. 

Going to be listing a new property soon by Lake Winnisquam in NH and Im looking for some recommendations /referrals for photographers & cleaners that specialize in ABnb / vacation rental property listings.Ideally they would have a lot of experience with short term rentals for both since they are much different than residential house cleanings and regular real estate photography for MLS listing.Anything helps!

I’m currently doing my homework and preparing to make an offer on my first property, a commercial/residential building and I’m looking forward to utilizing the resources on BP and especially the experiences of all the other investors. 

I am an attentive listener and would love to connect with fellow beginners or anyone interested in discussing their experiences.
