For those that rely on traditional methods and personal experience, I can understand this perspective.

@Ramada Evans yes that is all on you....you can go directly on airbnb/vrbo and do a search by the enemy method for houses that are similar to yours in size and bedroom/bathroom. 

I'm exploring getting into PadSplits.

We’re open to considering Section 8 rentals if they align with our goals.Our initial plan is to purchase one or two properties outright with cash, although we’re still open to financing options if the right opportunity arises.We’re planning a 1- to 2-week trip soon to explore Indiana and get a feel for different cities and neighborhoods.I’d really appreciate your honest feedback.

Are you sticking to traditional banks, exploring private lenders, partnerships, or maybe something creative like seller financing?

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

It might be worth exploring those options, especially if you’re just starting out.

btw you can buy at least 2 properties in Memphis TN with $50K using the BRRRR method.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for flexibility or control, or you prioritize high resale value, it’s worth exploring alternatives like small multifamily properties or single-family homes in areas with broader market appeal.Coming here to see if anyone has suggestions or experience to share is a great first step!

some gurus teach this method.. thats all this is.. seller is going to have to pay inputed interest to the IRS though.. to me it would depend on down payment..
