I place only used and would never pay for a new stove or refrigerator.I simply keep my eyes out for good working stoves and fridges and usually have a couple spares on hand and if something goes down that is not an easy fix I just grab the trailer and dolly and exchange it.And in my area you can find working white stoves and single fridges for $100.00 each if you pick it up yourself.

If you're holding the property to rent, you'll definitely need to get out of that expensive hard money and into permanent financing as soon as the home is renovated. 

I am not usually the smartest person in the room but I like listening to them and paying attention to their advice.

Drafted a plan, gathered estimates, created a budget, put together DTI sheets, even got an "as-built" appraisal, and also have it in a permit status at the Local Building and safety office.Then I started to look into the construction loan and the permanent financing....to do it myself, and not through a builder.I soon realized that there are sooo many companies out there that want to try to help...but cant  (some of them were even on this network of people):  don't have builds on record, won't allow for owner-built homes, my credit is less than 680, while carrying the construction loan, there may be a point at the end where because i have my rental house while building that it become hard to pay, and  I can't pull out a private loan to help start process because my credit cards balances are horrible...and my "business" has no show of income.So, now we are here in the present time....   

The monthly expense would be a little bit more than what we charge for one night. 

(My plan is to consolidate that debt and pay off loc within 18 months, then potentially use it as down payment on another building)I’m feeling a little stuck and looking for some advice.

You are paying money thinking it will bring you business, when in reality it's just bringing you a bunch of contacts that aren't serious.Build relationships.

You want to have turn expense and vacancy for a guest smoking near the front door and staying more than 7 days.

Repeat: You use the $150k to pay off your initial investment of $100k purchase price + $50k renovation, essentially getting all your invested money back to move on to the next project.

You want to be able to select who rents your house and how do you know the person they sublet to will pay the rent and take care of the place?
