Any advice on how to get the process started would be appreciated. 

Hi folks,My wife and I are looking to purchase a vacation cabin in Packwood not for use as an Airbnb. 

We use our HELCOC to fund our investment properties (purchase and rehab).

A good sign of an agent is how much business they are doing on the purchase and sale side.

You can save a lot on costs if you do many repairs yourself.Look into hard money lenders or private lenders for the initial purchase and rehab.Connect with wholesalers, agents specializing in investment properties, and other BRRRR investors to find deals and learn more.

Purchase price: $305,000 Cash invested: $80,000Single Family home in a 55+ community. 2 Bed 2 Bath, attached 2 Car Garage.

I’m currently going through the process of getting a HELOC and feel confident we’d be able to fund a purchase using that but using PML has ultimately been a goal of mine and would like to incorporate it into one of these purchases if possible. 

.: I have an applicant who's going through a rental screening process A.T.M.

Especially in a high interest rate environment where cash flows on long term rentals are muted and there is significant capital required to purchase and list on airbnb.I live near NYC but would invest out of state in an airbnb / landlord friendly state.

@Isaac Terry Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
