If you're open to mid term renting (we transition to this during our slower season), I'd also recommend speaking with the university and trying to see if you could try to be the source for their mid term housing.

Taking root and new leaves starting to come out.  

@Manuel Angeles affordable deals depending on size can have multiple funding sources….

you also need to source the property, and for BRRRR you need a goldilocks property - something that is distressed enough that you can buy substantially below market, but not so distressed that it's not worth fixing up.hope this helps - happy to help further

Quote from @Na Wilson: I have a source (depending on credit score) that can do a 90% LTV DSCR loan on non-owner occupied real estate. 

I just read an article recently that noted "Avg Profits For Flipped Homes" of $80,000, however when you dig into the article and their sources, "Profit" is simply Sale Price - Purchase Price...so it doesn't consider renovation costs, holding costs, financing costs, etc.

Without population growth, your rental income will lag behind inflation, requiring you to find additional sources of income.How long your rental income lasts depends on the job growth in the investment city.Non-government jobs are inherently temporary.

I'm hoping I could get some advice from this community on how to source off-market deals, as well as a pulse check on what I've been doing so far.

@Paola AstridRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I am sure many are actually purchasing real estate with these unsecured loans but the investors are not really benefiting from the real estate, they are merely making a fixed return and providing inexpensive equity sources to those who actually own the real estate.
