He get's principal and simple interest payments over a number of years.I'll manage the deal and the property.Looking to create a proforma for this that would fit a typical rental analysis but insert the detail of having private money cover the DP.

@Drew Sygit @Gregory Schwartz From this HUD map it is 17 States/DC, and another site says 22 States which may reflect some more recent updates.

I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.

We would need the unit rented at least a week every month just to make up for the HOA.

Found it through a broker on the market.

one of my clients that has a pretty big PM company.. had a unique way of doing this.He offered 50% of the first months rent or 500.00 minimum.. he would have 4 or 5 agents at the weekly meeting handout the list of vacants .. each of them would go place a sign in the yard and first come first served.. he found that potential tenants would call the first sign if no answer they called the next one until finally someone answered.. it worked pretty awesome for him. 

As mentioned the taxpayer must remain the same.

MAREI meets next week - we have a new meeting place starting on the 12th at the Double Tree. 

Lowe's just came out with their biggest appliance sale of the year- up to 40% off.

Would be glad to talk more about the area!
