In the primary house i'm currently at, my full-time renter is on board to sign a 12 month lease, but that only covers about half of the mortgage, have you ever heard of a lender allowing the rest of the proof of income on an existing mortgage be from Airbnb rentals?

I normally end up telling the tenant before they leave that I'll hold the deposit until the bills settle out, deduct those, and send them the rest assuming there are no damages (unless for some reason they'd prefer to keep them separate).

Ask them to describe their program, what's different from the rest, specific examples of what they teach, specific examples of what they do (if they don't do what they teach, they aren't going to help you).Find out the timelines to their program.  

occasionally something comes up that is cheaper but as @Brian Ploszay says a lot of those deals have hair on them. and the rest are under contract. in 24-48 hours.

Landlording inside the five boroughs is much different than the rest of the state.
