This sounds like a perfect fit for the "new" Airbnb algorithm, where they seem to promote the unusual stays at a premium over the traditional. 

And buying 10 or 50 is perfectly doable. 

You are describing the perfect example of a situation needing a "DSCR" Loan - made exactly for this situation, meant for turnkey (fully renovated and rented) properties and qualification based on the property, not the income (no DTI, no income verification needed). 

It's frustrating because I have the perfect lender for this scenario in WI, but they don't lend on IL properties.

E-sign is perfectly valid, very few things would need to be done in person.

Thanks  Nope perfect, (realtors are useless) When you insult the seller you did a good job!

Every form needs to be perfect.

I'm not really asking for advice as much as I'd like to see there be a conversation on this thread... this is a lot of space & I think creativity can flow on commercial projects, which is why I like them so much.I'll attach the floorplan but keep in mind that they aren't 100% accurate, these LiDAR scanners aren't perfect yet so that's why the square footage is off at the bottom...

Burnt out lightbulb, toilet flapper not seating, worn agitator dogs, bad ballast in fluorescent lights, faulty circuit breaker, leaking wax ring in commode, loose p-trap cap connecters under sink, modem has reset to factory default, thermocouple needs replaced on hot water tank, filters need replaced for central heat/air, ceiling fan needs balanced, lint trap on dryer is torn, source input needs reprogrammed on HDTV remove, headboards too close to wall and making impact damage. 

I know there is no perfect way, but excited to hear your experiences.
