Curious...have you already identified a specific neighborhood in Findlay where you see the most potential, or are you still exploring the entire city?

You have 3 months (potentially) to get it all sorted which should be pretty easy.If someone is selling a STR, that doesn't mean there are issues.

I highly doubt Paces team does anything more than sell you his system.. no way they are vetting potential borrowers of small EM deposits  :)  many beginning wholesalers do wholesaling because they have no money or credit or credit is tarnished etc.. this is ultra high risk en devour to be loaning money like this to people you are meeting on line..

My focus is on uncovering properties priced under $800K with the potential to gross six figures annually.

Dallas on the other hand has more growth potential in certain markets in my opinion.

Is that amount worth risking at this time potentially having to pay from your primary residence?

Owner occupied loans have allowed us to purchase properties in markets with heavy appreciation, and potential for huge rent increases.

Non of us, no matter how experienced, have a crystal ball that we can look into and see the future outcome of an investment.

Have you run any numbers on your potential new build?

Buy at a discount given the lack of building potential and can always pass that discount along when I sell.2.
