Feel free to DM when you're making the move here and we can connect and get you on a consultation call to hone in what your options would be!

Two actually.

Have you actually read Section 1954?

Even with no/low money down options, I suggest having ample reserves in case you need to come to the table with cash for some reason. 

But in actuality to buy one of the baller properties in those highly desirable areas that generate the strong airbnb revenues will cost you like triple the mortgage that AirDNA’s data indicates.As an example, click on Destin - AirDNA estimates profits of $56k/yr after you pay that piddly $21k/yr mortgage ($1750/mon) on that low low home purchase price of $357k.

Try to narrow down your options to the top 3-4.

Our first offer actually didn't go through.

"Thank you for your application, we have decided to rent to somebody else".Why is this not an option?

To actually answer your question though painting is not hard but you will not get the same results as a pro, and I argue you don't need to. 

If you want to buy a home and live in it for a few years before renting it out, I will look at low-money down conventional/FHA options; if you cannot qualify conventionally with your DTI, I would look at DSCR loans.
