Hey all,I have been listening to Bigger Pockets content for maybe 4 years and finally have removed myself from some side hustles, have the capital, and grew the...brains to start real estate investing.QUICK BIO:I am based in New Jersey, I work as a marketing/efficiency consultant, and have 2 avenues of real estate investing:Short-Term Rentals: I have 3 short-term rentals using my parents apts in NJ ( 1 of them just launched in Nov) for the past 2yrs near NYC (1 of them just launched in mid-Nov).

Just to name a few: Borrower's Experience FICO Loan Amount Loan Type being sought: Perm (30 yr ams), Bridge (12-36mo I/O), Rehab (12-36mo I/O), Ground Up (12-60mo I/O) Property Type (1-4 unit, 5+ MF, Warehouse/industrial, Hospitality etc)If you have a specific deal in mind, then you can have a lender (or broker) look at it and give you a better idea.

I plan to offer owner financing to others that can't get a loan.

Does anyone have any referrals for property managers in the Los Angeles area who specialize/ have experience in mid term rentals?
