I think the real estate professional strategy works if it is your primary source of income.   

A reasonably good source is AVVO.com by zip code and expertise.  

Go direct to seller, learn to source your own deals and you will be successful  

I suggest you find other sources of income or partner on deals to grow your real estate portfolio.  

-  we use various sources (Web, Facebook, click funnels, etc. to fill up the PONDS for our investors and wholesales to fish from.).  

@Kenny BaoTypically, larger properties are sourced through brokers.

Option A would allow me to keep it as a long term rental .

In terms of performance, I will be honest with you: it all comes down to your source of lists, the way you set up your campaigns, and last but not least, your templates.

Another option is to put 2-3 inches of spray foam insulation then batt under that, it will assist with stopping some of the air transfer and seal it off as well.I would also check the windows in those rooms and whcih way do they face.

Otherwise, you will have to explain the large deposit and possibly the source of the funds to buy the crypto.You can expect to need about 20 percent of the overall costs of the purchase and rehab.
