@Avery Carl - I'm looking to buy a STR in Bend, OR.

In-house appraisers and Community Bank lenders that bend the rules because of the volume they get…???

Would be happy to connect as I regularly travel through South Bend

I'm familiar with Katy and Fort Bend but also would love to learn about other areas such as Spring and Cypress. 

My advice would be to never bend your numbers because of the fear of missing out.

If you are trying to sell a property at top dollar for cash right now you can at least bend over backwards to tell me if the tenants I am purchasing along with the property have paid rent through covid.This property has obviously had significant money put into it very recently (hence the tax abatement).

Looking for a referral for Insurance for my new STR in South Bend

- South Bend, IN also catches my eye for investing.

Hey Aaron - sounds like the sellers (likely due to age and lack of familiarity with owner financing) are probably not going to bend on the financing piece of this.

I hate it when people say this on here but this may be one of the cases where it actually does make sense to say it: consider hiring a PM moving forward because every tenant has a sob story and if you bend over every time you hear one, you might as well be running a charity.
