My primary concern is taking care of the seller whom I bought from, and the end buyer being able to have conventional financing in place as the end buyer.

Also, it should be noted that my conventional broker was able to close the loan in 3 weeks and had no issues with my  credit with no points of course.  

Trying to forecast the trajectory of rising mortgage rates is complex due to market variables like inventory levels and potential interest rate shifts.

Zoning is also an important factor to review in Miami as rising prices and limited housing inventory means they are cracking down on illegal STRs.  

Price range is great and should have a good amount of inventory to choose from.

It also stays off of your personal credit/DTI which will help you as you live your life outside of these properties.Those will be a specific set of lenders that you will want to look into as many of them have different requirements that you would have to adhere to, but overall much more of a simpler process than your conventional lenders, while being a couple of points higher in processing. 

I would house hack subsidize my mortgage which gives time to build up capital and would refinance to conventional loan and start my next investment!

I knew that in Michigan (and im sure across many states as well), you can purchase your first home with only  3% down on a conventional loan, or 3.5% down with a FHA loan.

Quote from @Ian Tyndall: This goes against convention, but I think California might be a good market because so many investors are avoiding it.

If you buy from the state inventory and it's already been 2 years, then you just have to wait another year.
