Then, I plan to purchase an SMF property that cash flows and repeat that process a few times over until I am able to generate enough income to reinvest to replace my main source of income today.Any specific neighborhoods in the WPB you think will have the best appreciation in the next 10-15 years? 

I'm not sure where someone would get the "on average" across the nation data because, unfortunately, in the MTR space there is no data source focusing specifically on MTR, unlike AirDNA for instance.

When using the Whole-tailing strategy.....does anyone know if using the MLS is a good lead source?

For DSCR we only require LLC docs if in an LLC , drivers license, SS Card if available if not ss89 can be signed, we don't ask for any info on any other properties owned by the borrower, we dont source or require seasoning on funds.

The site is primarily a lead source, not a booking platform like Airbnb.

@Nicolette YorkRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

We've sourced financing for the construction, but not for the lots themselves.

I don't blame them, because commissions are their only source of income. 

Just to give you an example of the type of thing you'd be potentially looking out for, if the community has a pool terrace planned and it's orientation in the new building would face directly towards your property, that could be a source of significant noise and disturbance for you/your tenants, and could make it much harder to sell your property once the new building is built and occupied.On the positive side, new apartment buildings cost millions of dollars to develop and build, and developers really only sink that much money into areas where they're forecasting rent growth and property appreciation for their investment.  

Whatever they call them, the loans come from the lender’s own source of funds.
