From both a real estate and STR perspective, the key to success will be choosing the right market first.

Let's say you're paying 3 points and 12% to a real shark. 

DSCR Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

It's a super affordable real estate market where you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule anywhere from $120-180k for a single family (or $200-250k for a multifamily) purchase price.

I have individual spreadsheets for each property that I used in my initial analysis for purchasing the asset of course, but I'd love to see everything all together now with real-time numbers.Where can I find something like this?

Now, it took me many years and a lot of real estate trading to get to this place with my bank, but that is why I highly recommend that RE investors work hard and finding and nurturing a local banking relationship.

Or, they flip homes, they are agents, they offer client remodel work, etc, so not specifically flippers but dabble in a lot of real estate related areas.Or, the full timers that started as flippers have since moved into new construction work more than flipping. 

@Audris TienIt Is known in the industry - read the website - logically two people could not manage $1.4B in real estate?

Best of luck in your real estate investing!
