With all respect to AirDNA and the amazing data they provide for STR owners, their pricing tool is not on par with most tools available there. 

@Leeling ChewAbsolutely, you should background check every adult (18 or older) who will reside in the property.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.You're feeling FOMO because you see people all over BP, YouTube, and Instagram bragging about their success.

What I see a lot of people do is overthink it and then either stop in their tracks, or wait for years to get started due to the overwhelming data that they get on what they want to do.

We only require a soft credit check as well. 

@Angel Perez  You should also check out smaller local banks and ask to speak to the commercial lending department. 

Yes this is possible.Go check with your original lender on the first property if you had one. 

@Sebastian Nadal for background checks, I use stessa/rent prep that’s available to us through biggerpockets tools.

Worth checking out for SFRs.Hadn't heard about them and looking for a place to refer our clients - thanks, will check them out. 

I'm specifically searching for an agent who:Has experience working with foreign investors (I’m not based in the US).Has been involved in buy-and-hold projects with investors multiple times.Can provide an approximate rehab cost by looking at pictures and is familiar with rehabs.Is willing to visit properties physically (I won’t ask you to check out too many).Has connections with wholesalers (a plus but not a dealbreaker).If this sounds like you—or if you know someone who fits the description—please reach out OR leave a message in I will get back to you.
