I prefer to utilize a broker lender because they generally have access to more unique loans, however I do know some BANKS or credit unions have inhouse portfolio programs available that don't exactly follow fed guidelines, which may also be good options. 

Now that I am older and have more options I recently started learning about real estate on youtube and it led me here, BiggerPockets.

Having a toddler now has fueled and accelerated or desire to make some actual moves towards this goal. 

I have a buddy that is in mortgage but unfortunately we are not able to secure deals with his company because most buyers have better financing or cash options and this is taking me out of the game.

Places like Blue River a town just south of Breckenridge that actually allows short-term rentals, some places in Silverthorne, some places near Crested Butte. 

For residential, compare the actual rents (*not* rents suggested in a proforma) with properties currently for rent and with historical rents for similar properties using sites like Zillow and Rentometer.

Does the S Corp actually hold title to the property?  

Yes, I am putting it under contract site unseen but not to worry, I will get there before the options period expires.

@Molly JonesIf a property is posted on a forum or social media it's actually on market just not on the MLS. 

So I'm doing some comparables on what sold in the last 3 years in an area we're actually looking to do a new construction.
