@Brian Erlich  I get what you are saying and opposition by some neighbors is not the same as an HOA but if you have a rich neighbor who does not want you there all bets are off.   

The other 1% are constantly reviewed by licensed Realtors, large wholesalers spending $20,000 monthly for marketing, numerous platforms and services selling leads, fix n flippers, syndicators, investment funds,  and “opportunistic” buyers such as myself with millions of dollars in cash to close any discounted deal in less than 48 hours, if need be.  

I get low DP, being creative and all that, but I bet skipping proper title DD on top of not knowing how to handle hazard or title insurance beneficiaries will blow you up. 

Cash flow would be nice but I’m more about gaining equity.I thought Vegas might be a good bet.

That’s the best bet.

The RV route or a mix might be the best bet these days. 

Sounds like my best bet is to show tenants how to turn off utilities in case of an emergency (which I do in our beginning walk-through), check messages even during my off hours--and not worry about what happens while I sleep.

Looking forward to reading some of the responses.While you wait for recommendations, I suggest using the search icon to look up "rentredi" and "hemlane", another platform for PM that has a feature for maintenance coordination.The search results will show past forum posts where members chime in on the subject.

.- DSCR cash out refi is most likely going to be your best bet.

Social media is a game-changer for real estate investors for better or worse, but which platforms do you think are the most effective?
