Most banks I’ve talked to require a 6 month seasonal period.

There is no 'title seasoning".Great way to use your own money as the bank and keep the ball rolling...If you have any questions in detail feel free to reach out I am always happy to talk REI.

They were promising to find me 60+ leads in my home market every week which is just impossible because even if I stretched out my home market to be a 100 mile radius there would likely only be maybe 10-15 new properties coming in the market in one week during the busiest month of the summer season.

Hey Michael thanks for your input yeah we have PMC and I'm just concerned cause we are over seas on vacation when the call came in, I just panicked for a little bit.

Is this accurate, as I have not encountered anything concerning 12 month seasoning periods, especially for cash purchases.This really hurts my turn-around and portfolio building timeframe if this has become standard (which I have not heard of a 12 month seasoning period during any research nor listening to any podcasts).Thanks!

I know $10,000 isn't a lot of cash to work with, but I wanted to challenge the minds of some seasoned veterans here and ask what they would do if they only have $10,000 to invest starting out.Since I don't own a home yet, I'm leaning toward a house hack with a 5-10k downpayment to get started.

I collected MTR comps and ran the numbers, and found that I might get an extra 15%-20% from a MTR, but I'm not sure if the vacancy rate I plugged in was reasonable (I'm in a mid-size city and my properties are close to Universities, hospitals, and other things that attract MTR tenants, so hopefully I'd have low vacancy...but I like to play it safe with my numbers, so I try to allow for a good bit of vacancy)... ...plus, all the comps I collected were just listings this month, and I don't know how much they're affected by seasonality, so my rent data might not be super accurate... ...maybe I'll give it a test run with one unit that's opening up in May, and see how it goes...

I am looking at a STR and a seasonal rental.

Most lenders require you to have 6 month seasoning to do a cash-out, but I do know of an option that cuts the seasoning period down to 3 months.

Ski season start date at White Pass can be more sketchy than Snoqualmie so I would suspect that people wait and see how things shake out weather wise.I am interested in hear what your budget is and what you are looking to do.
