We’re really best suited for those high income earners out there with strong investment experience and cash positions to literally take the reigns and create a strong cash flow product and tax write off for them with minimal time spent on their part.

It's been so bad here, that I bought an STR in Indiana with another business partner in 2024 because there are minimal opportunities here - unless you have the ability and budget to extensively source off market properties here.  

I am more so looking for turn-key properties or something with very minimal updating needed.

I own a fully paid-off home valued at around $275,000, but that's all I have. my credit is poor, and I’ve had minimal income over the past couple of years, which doesn’t reflect much creditworthiness.

Some are led by seasoned investors with a wealth of knowledge, while others may be run by people with minimal experience.

Not sure if hard money would be the correct route to go for this one or notHey @Scott Allen I generally run the initial underwriting to minimize the developer's equity (@Shayan Sameer) based on the max LTV % or LTARV % that the handful of HMLs that quote me on my deals.

It is my understanding that people refinance and then use those funds other ways (personal living, investing, some to buy another property) as a means to minimize tax obligation. 

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: Sorry about your frustrating issue - Airbnb is not only guest friendly but most of the time they will be the one paying for damage so they are going to try to minimize you. 

With that said I am looking to do minimal work to renovate the home such as painting and adding new appliances.
