Great ideaI would suggest getting in with an older more experienced agent and offering to help them for free with whatever they need Just because you get your license doesn’t mean you can’t use an agent to help you when you are first starting out  that is what I did I would also suggest you watch Ben Malla on YouTube.  

My thought is to look for older (2+ years) homes nearby that have sold recently as better comps, but I don't know if they'll consider it.Thanks!

Are you selling or holding your older rental properties?

Typical seasoning requirements of six months would apply.

I have an older condo rental in Dana Point where the tenant has been renewing on a yearly lease year after year.   

Goal 2 Rehab - OKGoal 3: Refinance  -  Refinance with 80% LTV as soon as rehab/renting it out is done              Problem: Seasoning.

However, he still left his older vehicle parked in front of my home and the sticker decal on the license plate on the back of this vehicle dates back to 2019 and was never renewed.

You are in the right place, well almost.Go to the STR forum and read through the older post.

Will seasoning apply to me if I try to cash out refinance?
