@Josh Ball thanks Joh - plan to do all comms via vrbo messaging Appreciate your quick response

The plan is to keep operating the property as a PadSplit post-acquisition.

Any insights, tips, or recent experiences would be greatly appreciated as I plan my next move!

Simplify the structure as much as possible, have clear roles and responsibilities that are not overlapping (meaning only one person is allowed to make certain decisions) and a clearly defined exit plan.

The 1% rule is best only used as a quick and dirty evaluation used to pick which property you plan on running additonal calculations on.

Quote from @Collin Hays: I visit fairly often with investors looking at a certain vacation rental property to make an offer on.  

Being able to look one of these sellers in the eye and tell them that you can, as a licensed agent, either list their property or attempt to assign the contract, assuming wholesaling is legal in your state, is a huge credibility booster.2) Get an entry-level job, hustle, save as much as possible and plan to house-hack when you turn 18-21.

I plan to call lender on this but don't want to wave any red flags. thoughts?
