You may to buy them but getting a state/city specific lease that is reviewed by a lawyer is worth the cost.

I did a quick Perplexity search and it came back with $1.62/SF, but it only found 2 homes that fit that specific 3/2 profile.

We are specifically looking to invest in a short-term vacation rental in the Destin area. 

Hi Anibal,We've done this before, but under very specific situations where we helped from A to B to C (end-borrower/buyer).

The interest rates can fluctuate based on the lender, your credit score, and the loan type, but you're correct in noting that no one can provide a specific rate without more details.For investment properties, the down payment may lean closer to the higher end of that range (around 10-15%) rather than 5%.

How can I determine the true market rent for a property, particularly when the available rental data in the area is either outdated, incomplete, or not representative of my specific property?

As I have said on multiple posts the investors using the prominent platforms like  propstream, propwire, propertyradar(although there data is allegedly up to date with specific documents which i can get in front of in other ways anyway)  are missing out on 70% (in some states like Georgia, Arkansas and 90% of NY its 100% because they dont provide them when I can) on the leads available whats available and getting it 2 wks later than the counties and 99.99% investors  dont know this.

But, property in certain specific parts of our country have shown price declines (in real terms, accounting for inflation) over the last 50 years. 

If you have any specific questions I would be glad to answer!

Right now, I’m focused on being actively involved in real estate investing through wholesaling—specifically, finding deeply discounted distressed properties, getting them under contract, and assigning them to my network of end buyers.
