Quote from @Jacob Sherman: Quote from @Kiran Asknani: Hi  All I am new to STR game and am planning to start with investing in Boston area or nearby suburbs as I have spent last 10 years in Boston.

They’re requesting what feels like an unreasonable amount of information, and the demands keep escalating.So far, they’ve asked for:A video tour of my home officeCredit checks on me and my partnerCopies of the deeds for every property we ownA copy of my partner’s home lease and utility billsBusiness phone billsA signed letter from the bank verifying our accountsBank statementsHonestly, it feels more like qualifying for a loan than trying to become a customer.

This isn't analyzing deals, this is just playing a video game.

If an in-person visit is not feasible, we can easily arrange video tours to accommodate your schedule.

Currently, I have a weekly check in with my current contractor, but alot of time it is a chasing game.

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

.🔹 Example in Action:Rental income: $9,000PITI: $9,500 → DSCR <1 (not qualifying)Using $63,000 in assets → Adds $1,045 in incomeNew DSCR >1 → Higher LTV (80% instead of 75%)🔹 Why This Matters:✅ Helps investors qualify for better financing✅ Increases borrowing power and flexibility✅ Allows you to scale your portfolio fasterUnderstanding financing tools like this can be a game-changer for investors looking to maximize opportunities.

I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.

Video walkthroughs, uploads of weekly pictures and videos each week.

I am new to the game with 1 property leased to section 8 under my belt and was about to buy another.
