Zero manners.They are now knee-deep in a course or click-funnel when they could have a true mentor who actually cares. 

Keep in mind these are razor thin margins in areas were retails sales are slow and or basically never sell for what you think they will sell for.. they always sell for less.

Should i just hold on keep going the slow route and buy when i can, i am 29 years old and i really want to be at 100 doors in the next 3-4 years but not at a risk to my current situation.

Last year was a slow year for airbnb and I was considering switching it back to LTR but this year has been high occupancy and bringing in $3000s in summer and $2000s in fall/winter, huge jump. 

Look for a local REIG, focus on your local market, start slow and find local investors that are willing to help you get started. 

I have called lenders, and they say either they're renting them out, or they don't have any REO.Since lenders can often be slow to respond, I stopped looking at them. 

I've got a deep discount on a truly passive STR.I've got a lead on a deal that can be purchased almost $100k under list price given the circumstances.

That mindset can really slow you down.

I'm definitely the "play it safe" type, which is why the buy-and-hold strategy appeals to me, and because this is all new to me I want to "start off slow", but I am open to hearing thoughts on other options I could consider as well.Put simply, if you were in my shoes, what would you do with that capital and now with one property under your name (if buy-and-hold is the most appealing strategy to you)?
