@Yinon Estikangi Typically if the property has been owned for less than 6 months and the property was recently renovated then we would be fine closing vacant and use the appraisers opinion of market rent to determine DSCR. 

The Packwood, WA market encompasses this mantra, with a flood of weekend warriors up to White Pass ski area in the Winter, and absolute Hunt/Hike/Bike/Fish Mecca in the Summer/Fall.

The best course of action is talking to so many sellers through your marketing that you find the ones that are truly motivated at the price you are willing to buy their property at..

In my area of NC, our local MLS's are writing rules to prevent wholesalers from being able to list and sell a property they have under contract. 

If they tenant is $300 below market, that's costing you $3,600 a year.

For direct booking, Boostly is a solid option.As you grow, consider integrating mid-term rental marketing for steady income with 2-3x the rent, as well as less turnover and wear.

As far as meetups go, you can find a lot of local events posted here on BiggerPockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a list of Chicago meetups that I can share with you as well.

And this market 100% of the sellers have paid it (my market). 

DFW is an amazing market.

Local and just starting out.
