My fiancée and I recently made our first post here and after gaining some great advice we have refined our goals and our now looking for more specific guidance. 

My fiancee and I are in the process of prepping her condo to rent.

Im a student with an F1 visa in the United States, problems started to arise with the lender.

As an international student on F1 visa, Can i wholesale real estate physically/virtually?

I own a home where my fiancée and 4 year old live.

My fiancée and I would be financing everything and create the overall vision and direction of the project.

@James Carlson You probably already know my thoughts on STRs vis a vis 'affordable housing' :-)But this is going to play out as it will, and ultimately even Gov't intervention/restriction will fall to the power of the free market, so we'll see how it goes.I wish the property owners and entrepreneurs well, although some of them will learn that 'elections have consequences' as 44 so famously said.

This seems to be for a few reasons:- Increased rates- Golden visas in Greece - Continuously increasing popularity of short term investingMany people instead are purchasing properties with cash and are receiving 4-5% returns, however, that's something that I'm not interested in and doesn't allow scaling.At that point, I've concluded that the two most profitable options would be house flipping and short term investing, as you very well suggested.That said, I'd like to ask you two questions please:- At the moment, what is the gross margin in a good area in the US?

Have a few questions regarding STR loophole and ways to save on taxes.I have a W2 and I am on H1b visa.

This is already an amazing cash on cash return and I'd love to own it out right but my fiancee and I only have 10% to put down.
