In this case, I added two ceiling fans, change two light fixtures, upgraded the kitchen faucet, and changed out an old shower head.

Don’t give up, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I recently came across a website that analyzes a property’s data related to Airbnb use and traditional rental called MashVisor.

So far the only thing I am familiar with would be house hacking or traditional financing, however for the amount of money I make these strategies would only allow me to ever do about 1 deal a year and I don’t plan on doing 1 deal a year forever.

That really does cast it in a much more negative light.

Please help :( My investors have traditional, they invested with me in " other people deals" I want to start my own multi family fund/JV but see conflicting info about the " warm body" requirement for debt ( commercial debt) . queations : 1-JV vs Fund ?

My suggestion is to you use a private lender or non-bank commercial lender, they will have more flexibility than traditional or conventional sources. 

@Parker Borofsky can shed more light on this.This is indeed a red-hot market and lately it's been common lately for sellers to ask buyers to waive appraisal contingencies, as properties are receiving multiple offers (sometimes more than 20) and getting bid up well over list price.  

Rates will be higher than traditional banks but if it's the difference between being able to grow your portfolio or staying at 10 rentals forever, which would you pick?  

We always have powerful battery operated lights to see the dark areas.
