Look up the loan officer and not the company (do they have any online reviews or social media presence; if possible look up their production numbers to see if they are any good)4.

The price and the rental income are good.

Does anyone have a good effective 3rd party mailing company to send mailers direct to seller?

Why Lexington is a good area for STR?  

This sounds like it could be a good deal for the partners, and perhaps the bank, but a terribly risky deal for you, with little upside.What exactly do you mean by, “There will be a promissory note drafted for the amount and the duration and interest rates”?

Thanks for the replying @Shiloh Lundahl, here’s what I’m looking for: good areas to invest, good resources to find properties, general information about the buying process, any realtors and other locals that can help, and expected returns in the area for STR.

I have done quite a few different things, one of the best to find out who is doing the most volume is go onto good and search for the "we buy houses companies" in the area you are looking to invest.

Always good to compare notes!

I do have a property that has plenty of parking, seven rooms/bedroom that would and could be a good fit for a pad split layout in my opinion.After looking at some of the reviews, I became less convinced than ever up into this point. 

When searching for clients I usually suggest starting with ones inner circle and good old grass roots marketing.
