I have successfully used the str loophole and can provide some insight how I achieved it. 

They have motivations to provide answers that:1.

The other 95% are either, part time or less motivated (for whatever reason).Your second option is the way to go if you want my opinion.

Also, the off-market listing process ensures sellers can reach the right buyer or buyer’s agents and only get interested, motivated parties.

If you do decide to proceed into investing, this will open to a realm of achieving financial freedom and slowly accumulate your rental portfolio, so that you can replace your active tech income from your rental income.

I’m looking for some guidance on my next steps toward achieving financial freedom through real estate.My long-term goal is to acquire enough rental properties to secure my financial future.

I don't understand why the sellers are so motivated, which is what my agent told me.

@Scott Trench or whomever it is calling the shots on the forum laws are just chasing their tails with a moving goalpost of arbitrary rules that will always motivate people to try to skirt them.Why?

I would not classify it as "slamming" but just just "checking" him as we all need encouragement and motivation not the opposite.
