But this year all of my STR bookings are for typical vacation time slots of one week or less. 

While we waited for a slot I drove my son to the same company daycare in the suburbs $50/week cheaper and they had multiple slots open at any given time, Prob 1/3 of the families at this place were waiting on a Downtown daycare slot to become available.I would suggest to anyone to target a Detroit property in near Downtown/Midtown.

If you succeed, its very likely that you'll be acquiring homes outside of the park, homes sitting on land or nice homes in run down parks that need to be moved, and if you're in good with them you can fill their empty slots.

But to @Seattle Eltons earlier point (PG 1), the combined LOC (business or HELOC) can be used to purchase deals right on the spot without having to seek out other investors or private capital.

If you are looking to wholesale, Id suggest PG county and DC east of the park.

Most of clients purchase in or near DC  - DC, PG County and Montgomery County.  

investor - not the crazy type to PG loans and such, just slow and steady, and i work with some other investors on different projects in construction and websites.i consider myself more of an entrepreneur, then just a real estate "investor".and i'm also getting my real estate sales license.

Basically you sign up for a time slot during an open house so you will have the home to yourself. 

Then I always have a 10-20% rate of people who don't show up to our scheduled time (which is just a time slot within an hour I create...open house style), and then from whatever is remaining, some people don't make the cut because of minimum requirements.I ran it like you with the paper app and the link and stuff, but there is an application already on Zillow they can fill-out and it does the work.

Try and get them to docusign/authentisign or notarize or produce a POF or know how to do an after inspection request (vs e-mailing the whole 52 pg report)  or complete a disclosure or what have you is a pain. 99% of solo buyers on the street suck and your seller and LA will know that.
