All bets are off in some jurisdictions if you refuse to rent based on race, color, etc.

@Travis AndresIf you do not have other assets to secure against - your best bet would be a private lender willing to take risk of essentially providing an unsecured loan.There are people out there that do this - expect very high interest rates.

As in how many followers you have on your YouTube channel or how many page hits you get on your web page.  

I don't care if mortgage broker shop got 10k applicants more in Dec23, I bet you a lot higher # of those are less qualified and not even qualified to buy than expected.

In my opinion- East Garfield is a good bet for investors.'

Your best bet is to continue going to local real estate networking events and speak with landlords and investors.

I bet dollars to donuts you will look back in 10 - 20 years and wish you had kept that home.Why did you sell? 

Your best bet is doing a DSCR cash out refinance with no seasoning if you can show you improved the property.

I bet I spend less than 10 minutes on every rental and we consistently rent 200 days a year.Rental history - Unlike long-term rental cash flow, the history of a vacation property is not always translatable to how successful you will be with the property. 

Much safer bet would be to buy an existing home with a view in a nice neighborhood.
