Building relationships with wholesalers and staying active in local REI groups has also helped investors I know find opportunities that still pencil out.On the refi side, DSCR loans have been a solid option, especially for staying cash flow positive.

Hey Shawn - Highly suggest going to local meetups and joining investing groups on FB to build your local network.

I attended an informational training for beyond bnb, without signing up for their service, I implemented a couple strategies they discussed and found they worked.  

This is public info and usually it will change based on seller being there a long time or something like an elderly tax rate.What are insurance costs like (we've got a lot of local variability around fire insurance for ex.)?

If they claim not to have seen your offer you file a complaint with the local board of realtors and also with the state's real estate commission. 

My local CU keeps all of their loans in their own portfolio.

Might be a way to get some cash quicker or maybe get a buyer for the land quicker if you can show them they could pull 1k an acre by having someone come clear cut the parcel after they buy it.The local population seems very limiting too.

If you have a good relationship with a lender who has a track record of great customer service and hitting all deadlines, even better if they have a good local reputation with the listing agents in the market that you do business in, then that’s worth more than the promise of a slightly lower rate from an untested lender IMO. 

Furnished Finder is a good idea, even if the fit with travel nurses hasn’t been ideal—it might be worth exploring other platforms for mid-term renters or marketing directly to local families in need of temporary housing.One thought: consider offering seasonal promotions or themed packages to draw in more guests, like holiday stays or discounts for longer weekends.

Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!
