Getting a loan to payoff another loan with a lower interest rate doesn't make any sense. we do private lending and can get double digits returns consistently.

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

Long Backstory, but my Dad owns a house in Greensboro, NC but has not lived in it consistently in 4-5 years.

What worked for me was listing on multiple platforms - Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and even local community bulletin boards.

You want a platform that has built in TCPA protections as well as a multiple communication channels besides voice such as SMS and email.

The main issue is a consistent lack of effective management and oversight.

are there any other platforms for such listing? 

A second STR in a market with year-round cash flow potential might balance out your portfolio and give you more consistent income.

It helps to build a good network of reliable contractors, especially if you’re investing out of state.Section 8 has been a part of my strategy, and while it’s not all rainbows, it’s been a solid way to build consistent cash flow.

I am thankful for all of the advice I've received on this platform and grateful for this community.
