Hello BP Community,I wanted to share that I'll be stepping back from the real estate space for a while to pursue opportunities in a different field.For those who have connected with me regarding bird-dogging or real estate leads, please note that I will no longer be offering those services.I've appreciated the connections I've made here and the learning experiences I've had.

Having been a university student who had shared a townhouse with other students, I can speak from my personal experience that there is a lack of accountability for the shared space.

It means a lot coming from someone who clearly knows the space.

If the car loan is taking up too much space on your DTI to be able to buy a deal, then it would have to go there first.

My portfolio includes both single-family and multifamily investment properties, as well as a collection of commercial buildings spanning retail, industrial, and warehouse spaces.

I’m a broker/lender in the non-owner-occupied space, and here’s what I’ve seen work:🔹 HMLs are great for speed, and flexibility 🔹 For PMLs, relationships are key.

Then if they like the space, they can apply online and we can have the full screening done then.

Because long-term rentals give you predictable, stable cash flow, are easier to finance, and help you build the systems (like property management and financing relationships) that you’ll need before jumping into the higher-risk, higher-reward short-term space.

I have decent connections in the multifamily space there. 

.: I personally like the Short Term Shop - they are pros in their space I don't like the self management that they push and hinge your success on.
