Hi Collin,After managing hundreds of properties, I always keep an eye on short-term rental trends, especially in key markets like the Smokies.

Owner-Builder Construction Loan (Challenging but Possible)Some lenders offer owner-builder loans, but they usually require:✅ Strong financials (good credit, assets, low debt-to-income)✅ A solid construction plan, budget, and timeline✅ Proof of prior experience (renovations help, but formal experience is a plus)✅ A licensed contractor or project manager to sign off on the build2.

.✅ Looking at property management options—self-management can save costs but requires effort.4.

I'm not in Boston, but I post the asking rent and do not haggle.I've got a property manager to do my screening now, but when I self-managed I used SmartMove by TransUnion.

Rare in Texas I think to find a PM that wants to manage anything as rent by the room. 

I was wondering how people managed to scale their businesses faster.

Does anyone know of a dscr lender that will allow for seasoned money for a down payment and a really good property manager in Ohio specifically in Columbus, Cin, and Cleveland?  

They don't charge a management fee as long as you buy a home from them every year.

Quote from @Johnny McKeon: Sorry to hijack,  I own 12 apartment buildings with 53 apartment units in the Phoenix Arizona Metro, I self-manage everything.

My managment company has made more than a reasonable amount of attempts to get the HOA to have this repaired.
