I researched the hot tub option.First I found out that the 98% of the competition didn't have them and may place already stays full without one.Second, I talked to some people that have them and they said they wish they didn't have one or didn't need one to be competitive.If you do you have you need to have a contract with a sauna company to do the maintenance to minimize your liability.I would the a pool would have the same issues applied to it.So if you don't need one of these to be competitive them skip the headache.

Showers have mixing valves and await electrician to be able to add full green board.That "rough plumbing work" will become an issue in the future, but stay tuned for that!

OK,This is a little obtuse but just stay with me.

I have yet to meet an investor who started in the small property space and "chose" to stay there.

I currently have an operating AirBnB in Colorado and looking to do a vacation this winter, staying in some AirBnBs while on the trip.  

There is a do it your self solo 401k that costs $300 to setup and $300/year for updates and required  restatements.

I was told by the realtor that this home is in need of updating but nothing major in the sellers disclosure.  

I will post an update once I do but until then here is what I know:You can apply within 12 months of commissioning (and either up to 6 or 12 months after commissioning -- I'm going to call USAA and check on that timeline).I'm not sure of other qualification criteria but it seems like a loan that is fairly easy to qualify for..

Be consistent and you will stay there."

That may mean doing something that may make you uncomfortable such as calling them directly if you can get a number or knocking on their door, but you can at least start any discussion with "I live in this property and would like to stay there" so as not to sound like some vulture circling like other investors may appear to them.
