I want to have a game plan in action prior to reaching out to lenders. 

With buyers and renters relying more on online listings, I'm curious how valuable do you find virtual tours in showcasing properties?

Quote from @Jacob Sherman: Quote from @Kiran Asknani: Hi  All I am new to STR game and am planning to start with investing in Boston area or nearby suburbs as I have spent last 10 years in Boston.

Just remember you are spending time and money to improve a space that isn't yours and you're not able to take the improvements when you leave, ownership should have some skin in the game especially in a new build.   

Could not find much online so figured I would turn to BP.

I left my job 2 years ago to help me and sister build a online business.

Santarelli allegedly purchased from a government auction from the bankruptcy trustee and relaunched online.

A borrower really needs to have at least some "skin in the game" to make lenders feel comfortable.

In fact, some of the best opportunities in real estate come from properties that others overlook—distressed homes with potential that just need the right investor to bring them back to life.If you’ve been in the game long enough, you know that distressed properties can offer huge upside, but they also come with their own set of challenges.

But not all land is fair game.
