I think is about relationships, after you reach out to all the wholesalers in your area in all the diverse ways possible and exposing yourself as an end-buyer on platforms like Facebook, you then start to vet out all these wholesalers and with time you'll see who the real players are and who the daisy-chainers are

Overstating the profitability of this endeavor by grossly understating the competitive nature of the bidding, the sophistication of some of the players as to research capabilities, etc.5.

This would be a flip, but if push came to shove, refinance and attempt to list on market during peak sale season in my area.

Hi @Ryan Davis,I started, fresh out of college, as an assistant to a seasoned LO, with 20 years under his belt. 

These two websites will provide you with a lot of information such as average daily rate, occupancy rate, rental demand, seasonality, etc.   

We have had everything from seasonal workers, to relocating families, local area displacements (floods, pipe damages, etc.), visiting families and all that.

The way to utilize the HELOC funds is draw on the HELOC at least two months prior to buying so the funds have seasoned for 60 days. 

I'm also curious how consistent the market is or if it's mostly seasonal / event driven.  

I would always specify that is primarily not "solely" based on the property - Credit and liquid reserves are still a significant part of the underwrite Ofcourse credit and technically with commercial DSCR there are no reserves required but yes as minimum as 3 months :) upto 80% cashout with no seasoning too which is wild . 

You will never need to deal with the players again.
