Lucrative STR's are some of the most desirable property types on the market (especially near the beach!)

Built to rent communities are also becoming more popular.

Quote from @Unal Baris Kancoglu: Quote from @Corby Goade: Depends on the area and type of system you want.

What type of property are you looking to purchase by the EOY? 

So it wont be a popular opinion but maybe don't invest in real estate just yet.

I use credit cards, write checks, and pay in cash.Each situation can dictate the payment type. 

In this type of situation, they want low interest rate with low down payment also.

However, the benefits of this type of transaction can still be safely realized with proper structuring and a good amount of equity injection.  

Sounds more like trying to win a popularity contest, aiming to gain votes and likes from people here that also have something against wholesaling.But OK let me play along.Let's fact-check this:OP: "It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it."

However if you aren't doing mass scale, we definitely suggest letting the contractor handle material purchasing.As long as the client has all of the materials at the jobsite, place them where they go, they are all the correct type/fit and there are all of the misc parts (adapters/special hardware/etc) needed to do the install.
