@Zach Denny  Similar to what Minna posted above, I have done with a local portfolio lender bank where they set their own lending rules. 

So is it a matter or reaching out to lenders saying I'm willing and able to act as a broker and ask for their terms/rules?

With regard to the proximity to the beach, I tend to have a beach distance of 15 min or 5 mile rule, whichever is less. 

Careful going outside state lines -- contract for deed is not allowed in Texas.I didn't think COD is illegal in Texas, just perhaps not recommended anymore, because it is difficult to comply with the rules or regulations. 

Dan,The process to create an LLC in Illinois is pretty simple.

Instead, create a landing page tailored to your audience with a clear, irresistible offer, such as:"Get a Free Price Comparison Report for Bulk Orders in [Industry/Location].""

I alsodidn't see any mention of HOA fees/dues and or rules.

By 2030, we want to have grown a portfolio of over 100 units, created a property management company that manages an additional 100-200 units, and, finally (and most importantly), we will have established a non-profit that is focused on quality, affordable housing that specializes in providing housing and resources at/on the "services cliff" alongside financial counseling and first-time home buyer education in our target area.Our target area is the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT areas with dreams to expand to Central Massachusetts (Worcester, MA), Southern New Hampshire (Nashua, NH), and Southern Connecticut (New Haven, CT).Would love to meet up with likeminded individuals in our area!

You rent it for one year and create a successful STR business that shows a trailing 12 month net income of $75,000.  

It’s humbing and frustrating, but it also teaches you those guardrails you’ll want next time.. like thorough screening, a solid lease agreement that sets ground rules upfront, and maybe even setting aside a bit more cushion in reserves.Chicago’s got plenty of investor-friendly pockets.
