This is not their fault however as they act as the "middleman" making the connections to the builders and lenders.

So, let’s RATIONALLY take a look at the three possible scenarios.1.

Most of the criticism (at least the more rational criticism) tends to congregate around the disaster that can occur if the new buyer defaults and the sellers limitation on credit capacity.  

These people usually have anger issues, and lack any ability to think rationally.  

They are only there to rake money as the middle man, and they need people booking to do that.

You will also ultimately make bad offers, get bad properties, and rationalize how they are actually good. 

Don't hire a middleman property manager.

If your property is prime for STR why not furnish it and hire a PM and cut out the middle man?

Understand when I say lenders I mean brokers the kind middleman I’m assuming the OP is.So I got a property under contract that I assume my  exit strategy was going to be I was going to buy it with a bridge loan and then refinance out into a rental loan.

While you think you are buying it from Wayfair, in reality they are the middle man who buys it for you from another site with a hefty markup.
