What if I'm the operator of the Fund?

Ive seen what you do and I bet you guys are just over thinking this. 

Even if city looses, they'll probably make things difficult on operators with all kinds of rules and regs like many other cities. 

Tip #1 - no such thing as one perfect market There is lots of data on Bigger Pockets and MTR experts that have released rankings of top cities for next year, but remember it's not just about the purchase-- it's also about the operation.

If your goal is less required documentation, DSCR is likely your best bet as most everyone as mentioned, possibly a bank statement program depending on your job structure. 

Aside from that, it sounds like my operation is quite a bit smaller than what you and your network operate with, but properties that are wholesaled are usually all cash or hard money, so the initial funding aspect usually isn't a roadblock.

This is a humongous audience to tap into so you have to take advantage of it sooner rather than later to find great real estate deals and motivated sellers.Your best bet to connect with people quickly is to run Facebook ads and promoted posts.

That’s the best bet. 

As an appraiser I’ve appraised a handful of properties recently that are outside of city limits and operating successfully as STR’s that don’t have the same regulations as the city of St Pete.

I bet, when you started investing,  this day seemed so far off it was silly.
