I am about to have an Airbnb going in the next couple months and can’t have my guests leaving bad reviews stating that their car was blocked in or somebody was in there spot while they were trying to pull in.

i've started to analyze deals i pull up on the MLS thanks to information ive gotten from bigger pockets directly!!

@Derek Smith  for next time if you want to @ multiple people @ start typing name then choose name in pull down menu, then space,  repeat.

I wish I would have started out there and I hope you are able to pull this off.My advice would be to quickly link up with a great coach or mentor in this arena.

I.e. those that send one final bill, that's it, also have experience I want, strong references, maintain licenses and pull permits, know their skill sets and can manage subs, their own schedules, etc.

After reading your post and looking into it a little more, I decided to pull he trigger on this one using the similar route you explained of joining the NEABA for the month until approved.

I also would have a trusted agent pull comparable sales comps.

Plus, looking more long term, if you wanted to leverage any equity later on, it would be more cumbersome if they were both on the same note (unless of course, you pull equity out of them both).  

I have not seen many folks actually pull off a BRRRR with straight conventional financing, but maybe its possible...the renovation style loans work...or cash is always your best play.

After my quick screen, if I'm still interested in the property, I'll usually pull some comparable rentals from Zillow Rentals or Trulia to verify it for myself.
