Hi BiggerPockets team,I am a rookie US real estate investor searching for financing options for my first deal.Personal ProfileCitizenship: IsraeliI do not have US citizenship or a long-term visa.Investment GoalsLong-term rentals in good B/B+ locationsLow-maintenance propertiesKansas City, MO/KS, or its suburbsI am familiar with what https://lendai.us is offering, but I am trying to find other alternatives.Thank you!

QUESTION: Has anyone had success going all in on marketing to groups celebrating milestones? 

Paul has started at least 3 separate threads in the past few days announcing to the world the success he's having with section 8 rentals and repeatedly reminds us he doesn't have a clue how to calculate the true operational costs associated with these properties. 

There are very successful STRs here, you just have to know the best areas to be profitable. 

Over time, I’d like to expand into short-term rentals, buy-and-hold properties, and flips.I’d love to connect and learn from this amazing community.

For me and my goals, I focus on long-term investing in residential single-family homes in Florida and Georgia.

David, this deal could work, but I’d want to dig into a few things first. 80% occupancy with long-term tenants is solid, but what happens if a major tenant leaves?

It’s smart that you’re looking into multifamily options, it can really help offset your living expenses while building long-term wealth.When analyzing deals, some key things to focus on are rental comps, vacancy rates, and property management costs.

However, I find myself uncertain about how to structure such deals and whether I could successfully secure them.I was wondering if you could offer any recommendations for educational resources that might help me better understand and navigate the intricacies of creative finance and seller finance deals.

Also, if you are a minority, WRA has the Partnership for Success program, which helps pay for your start up costs.
