My last visit was in 2021 and owners were limited to one guest per month.

Many even include a set monthly amount.

I know what seller financing would involve in regards to me (the buyer) having to pay a interest rate set by the seller and the monthly payments also set by seller.But what are the benefits of seller financing a property?

I’m not completely set on only doing out of state.

Using cash is great if you want to keep all the profits, but it can limit your deal flow. 

I’m an out-of-state investor working on building my online presence, and I’m currently running into an issue with setting up my Google My Business (GMB) account.

To avoid that, set a firm, realistic budget from the beginning and make sure you stick to it.

You mentioned that your DTI is over 50% with less 10% down, so that's not an option....that 50% limit isn't necessarily a hard-and-fast rule, so you may still be okay @ less than 20% down (not to mention not all lenders calculate income the same way).

I would have to get with the property manager and mimic the exact plans they have set up in the lease, all of which were probably customized by the PM to get a few extra dollars.  

We try to meet every other Friday at 9am PT and I also set up a whatsapp group for us.
