Going down this path is gonna kamikaze your reputation.

By the time I launched, I had already established a solid reputation in the Cincinnati market.

Specifically:What area did you choose, and why?

Almost all mortgage loans these days have Due on Sale clauses, so it comes down to A) whether they find out (usually from changes in the insurance policy), and B) whether they choose to call the loan.

You will need to vet out a few agents or you can work with reputable wholesalers.

This will allow you to put the loan into the entity or business name of your choosing.

As I explore the neighborhoods in NW Philly, any suggestions on reputable agents with experience in those areas? 

Thank you for saving me from some unnecessary headaches.On that note, can anyone recommend/endorse a reputable educator with experience in wholesaling?

It is important to remember you own real estate in the Poconos and you are choosing to operate a STR business.

Covering the mortgage isn’t an issue, but I’m considering factors like: Multi-Family: House hacking would help offset costs right away, but I’d likely need to put money into renovations upfront.Single-Family: Easier move-in with no immediate renovations needed, plus potentially lower tenant turnover once I rent it out For those who have been in a similar situation, what did you choose and why?
