For wholesalers: How are you adapting to buyer preferences or creating irresistible deals despite tighter margins?

I suspect PML terms and money will get tighter - at least for a while.

While there are undeniable challenges—higher interest rates, tighter lending conditions, and market uncertainty—there are also unique opportunities that can make real estate a very prudent choice if approached thoughtfully.

Columbus is going to be more of an appreciation play and cash flow margins will be tighter in the beginning. 

Many insurers have left the state so it is important to be able to get the correct STR insurance.Start calling around and get some bids and ideas on cost and fit it into your budget before you start offering on properties.

My budget is in the $200-250K range.Please feel free to let me know if additional details would help, and thank you in advance for your time and advice! 

Quote from @Jack Townsend: I heard David Greene mention a loan product that only requires a 10% down payment on the purchase price and 10% of the rehab budget.

Be conservative on your rehab budget, rehab timeline, holding costs, etc.

Typically starting with a smaller rehab budget of $50K or less (maybe a max of $75K) and avoiding a 1 to 1(or higher) ratio of purchase to rehab costs is recommend when you are first starting out. 

I remember working with a friend who inherited his aunt’s home.. he got so caught up in the emotional side of it that he forgot the nuts and bolts..like having a good plan for the renovation budget and timeline.
