I've helped people with SBA loans to purchase real estate for a business, but for buying rental real estate, the DSCR loan is a much better option.

@Adriana Cortez$6k is insaneI can send you a free video on how to do this in 15 minutes AND 99.99% of people do not need a holding company.

It's honestly insane how you people call yourselves investors yet your never prepared for hardships or things that come up.

So - somewhere 2 hours away, or somewhere you like to vacation in, or where all your family lives, or where you plan to move someday.Too many people are trying to do exactly what you're doing - pick a market based on a formula - and they end up buying a random 'cheap' property thousands of miles away, turn it over to people they've never met or even spoken to, and then... lose money.  

People you talk to will either love or hate S8.

When you have a proven track record of performance, then you can play with other people's money. 

Many people invest in real estate using an SDIRA or even better a Checkbook IRA.

People told me I shouldn’t use my retirement funds to get started, but glad I did.

Common problem, no easy answer:(We try to allow our owner clients to arrange their own maintenance, but have learned the hard way there MUST be limitations:1) They can't hire our people!

There was an STR boom when many people bought homes here thinking they could have passive income, but that is not the case here as much as it is in places like Asheville (which is still seasonal, but not as much).
