I just don't have a big market, so it's tough to find something like this particular property as evidence.I was thinking of something more general, like a formal study of various markets, but I haven't found anything except general articles or blogs.

I was curious on any insight on the best system that you all have found for your short term rentals?

I found it cold calling and negotiated it directly with the seller How did you finance this deal?

hope all is well, also Canadian and just curious how it went with getting into section 8, would love to chat if you found it successful! 

That said, expect to deal with a fair amount of fluff leads.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

Hello and thank you for this reply - yes, I have been analyzing a few properties - I have found that the main issue for both the traditional long term rental and also short term rental in this area is reliable property management - it is traditionally a cottage country tourist area, but it is becoming more popular for long term residency, and there is an emerging missing middle, because of property prices.

Has anyone here found creative financing solutions or partnerships that have worked for them lately?

Found it through my marketing efforts, and I wanted to do more land deals.

Needless to say, the buyer got a whole bunch of stuff done right before closing that were not found in a standard inspection.
