I’m also open to exploring short-term rentals, private lending, or passive investing in funds—anything that maximizes returns while keeping risk and time commitments manageable.For context, I’d consider leaving my job if this could become a full-time venture that surpasses my current compensation (low-mid six figures).

Lots of property management companies sell turnkey flips and also have realtors that can find you value add properties, and they probably have contractors to recommend and even may handle the project management for you if you're going to use them to manage the property.

What’s the timeline for using the HELOC funds, and do you have a plan to pay it off within that timeframe?

Get some gift funds to help with the down payment if you can.

Hi @Justice JacobsI do have specific questions. 1) How do you structure the company?

Question• Has anyone formed an llc to start and fund their 1st real estate purchase using a SBA loan?

I have some connections there with other hosts/STR companies.

Who are a few great companies I could speak with that have turn-key properties available?

I know of one syndication company (not multifamily) that the founder was a pilot, and from what I have heard, a lot of the early investors were airline captains the founder flew with.

Keep in mind banks still pool forclosed assets together and sell them all together as a group to one company.
