Some other pros and cons but could keep that money liquid and flexible.

To help with you issue of cash flow, consider the idea of financing your rehab budget with your hard money lender.

My question was this, to save time and money, is there a place I would be able to see if a previous soil test has been done, building plans, anything? 

Make sure you feel comfortable, but keep in mind if you ask for too much (in comparison to other MTR hosts), you might lose out on guests. 

I will also be paying the mortgage from this account and if I am short, I'm going to transfer money from another account.Is this a good idea and what does everyone do?

It is challenging but we committed to going there every 4-6 weeks and having a great team on the ground ( will cost you some extra money) but they are the difference in having issueswe have one of the best cleaners in the area and our guy that cleans the grills does all my light maintenance and guest interaction if I need it(pets, too many guests etc.)3-4 hours would be a dream and you can definitely do it but you have to commit to going there every 4-5/6 weeks In my opinion because there will be things you need to address or upkeep- this is obviously only if you decide to self manage. 

You will likely need experience with the type of deal for which you are raising money.

I got my materials money back and everything I paid painters, etc..

Coming back with more money, a condo, and a wife i feel ive reached a time where my eyes wont wander again.

I understand the concept of hard money loans, but I'm currently navigating the process of applying for one myself.
