These are prime locations, think near downtown or popular tourist destinations where demand for short-term rentals is typically high.

The 1031 is only into like-kind investment real estate and typically is only 1-3 properties and therefore only 1- 3 markets.

Sub to deals are risky for the buyer and typically provide little to no value for the seller. 

These are what we call "A-class" markets—areas with strong fundamentals, high demand, and typically excellent long-term appreciation.

Instead of 40 houses cash flowing $200 each or $8000/month, you buy 10 houses and pay them off for a cash flow of $10,000/month with 1/4th the headache.People don't understand the amount of time, energy, and stress involved with managing a lot of doors, especially if they are lower-class properties typically needed to generate cash flow.

Personal loans are typically shorter term maybe up to 5 years.

Typically the banks that say they can get it done in a few days I havent had luck with when getting creative as they underwrite the easy deals quickly.

@Kendric BufordRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I think this is pretty typical of the ultra wealthy..
