Given your situation, one strategy that could work really well for you is the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat). 

They really do not know how to decipher what is a question posed to get business, then they end up with an inbox full of DMs.A lot of us have started using the "nice" call-out method, which involves responding something like, "I see you are an agent in Dayton asking a question about housing in Dayton. 

that was not a method that Armando taught in the seminars I attended these were strickly how to find BRRR props and rehab them and then resell or refi and keep.. the Markets we worked were Vegas and Orlando and Frankly those investors who actually bought property doubled their money or more with the deals i funded for them and they bought on their own it was 2011 to 2013 which as we know was a prime buying time and had to hand it to Armando he picked two of the best Markets.. 

And there is definitely ways to structure a sub to deal to protect yourself a little better as a buyer but the problem is and will always be that the lender isnt in the loop with this and can call the loan at any point which puts a lot of risk on the sellers willing to do this method and the buyers who are investing money into these deals.

Quote from @Tracey Watler: Hello BP, I was looking for a lender in Puerto Rico, I’ve learned that even though Puerto Rico has almost all of the products and methods of the US not all US banks lend in PR. 

These properties can often be acquired through creative financing methods like:Seller Financing: Negotiate flexible terms with motivated sellers who want to avoid traditional bank processes.Lease Options/Subject-To Financing: Take over a seller’s mortgage without assuming full responsibility, especially for properties needing renovation.Creative Terms: Adjust terms to fit market conditions, like offering lower down payments or longer payoff periods.Staying connected with investors and tailoring deals to current conditions can help you secure opportunities even in challenging markets.

After about a month of no response on FF I switched my method to LTR.

For those that rely on traditional methods and personal experience, I can understand this perspective.

@Ramada Evans yes that is all on you....you can go directly on airbnb/vrbo and do a search by the enemy method for houses that are similar to yours in size and bedroom/bathroom. 

If that is your intention the slow flip method is not for you.
