I had a passion for real estate for quite sometime now but it was until i went into being a short-term rental agent and making sales of $12,222 from April to date that i saw that there is actually quite a huge demand for short term rental here in Tanzania and i can decide to not just be an agent but rather work myself up to becoming a real estate investor and get my own properties.That 12k, though in humble beginnings showed my that there's something here.

What are the reasons given for being afraid of it?

They also get 1st crack at the pocket deals.I would also say while I have seen very few exceptions, for the most part discounting just doesn't work long term. 

I know most residential lenders won't lend to an LLC so my question is should I just house hack the way anyone else would, using my own personal financial status and name, my own funds for the downpayment, and put the multifamily entity and principles aside for now.

but not in a rush to put it on the market because she's busy. - A nearby similar property just sold for $350K but was updated.

I am organizing an Orange County, CA meetup at the event LA and IE investors are also welcome.

I am a newbie and in the process of acquiring my first STR in Broward County, Florida. 

In my opinion, you're better off just using a cashout refi and then parking the money in a MMA/HYSA or rolling 30-day treasuries than using these hybrid LOCs.

What is the typical way to price something like this?

Hi BP Community,I'm in the process of evaluating a fix-and-flip opportunity for a single-family home (SFH) with the following details:Purchase Price: $1,000,000Renovation Costs: Approximately $400,000Estimated Timeline: 12-14 months from purchase to saleI'm trying to determine what would be considered "good enough" multiples and internal rate of return (IRR) for this type of project.
