sounds like a DSCR loan is going to be your best bet!

Your better bet is to find a long-term tenant to rent a room or more depending on how many additional bedrooms you have. 

Best bet starting out is to partner with a GP who can bring some experience/track record to the table.

And within that realm, STRs/Airbnb are often your best bet for cash flow.

I bet in the example you gave, if you had a mortgage on the property, the lender's title would have covered the cost of fixing the problem and helped avoid foreclosure.  

Your best bet to learn wholesaling is to go work for a wholesaler.

Agree with others that cold calling is your best bet.

While buying existing property or pre-construction is a pretty safe bet (assuming the developer is honest and properly financed like everywhere else of course), developing is another story.

I don’t think I’d do a STNL NNN property as the cap rates are still quite low, and it’s an all or nothing bet…and there have been plenty of formerly “solid” STNLs going dark left and right, and in all sorts of decent markets.
