I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

What you’re suggesting is not cash flow, it’s return of principle, giving her her own money back  If she sells with your deal.

By donating the owner will have the money they want.

I am just beginning my journey as a wholesaler with zero money and zero knowledge.

I have a question and would really appreciate your input.I’ve done a couple of fix-and-flip projects in the past using hard money lenders, but I’ve noticed that their fees and interest rates significantly cut into my profits.

Most landlords wait for a problem to land in their lap, then they waste a ton of time thinking, worrying, researching, and bleeding money before they ever take action.

Cash and Hard money How did you add value to the deal?

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?

Structuring Financing for Volume-Based InvestingTraditional financing methods like hard money loans work well for single properties but can be less efficient when you're scaling up.
