Hello everyone, I've done 3 buy and hold rental properties, and now I want to do flips, I need investors and I have some that have shown interest, in addition to speaking to private lenders that are willing to fund 70% of the LTV (based on the desired property)I'm seeing a lot of deals from wholesalers, but the problem is, some of them close in 2 weeks and some as long as a month, and they don't take conditional offers, and the good ones fly off the shelf really quick.My question is, how does someone like me close one of those deals within this short period, how do you arrange the equity and financing with little to no inspections sometimes even.I'd like to know how do I prepare myself to be able to close one of these good deals right away when they are offered to me and many others?

In addition to this, I own a property in Plantation, Florida, where I’m exploring the potential to add apartments or convert it into a multifamily unit.

I've recently had to switch cleaners and that is costing me an additional $50/stay.

Once I hit my reserves goal, I transfer the additional money to a separate "War Chest".

Additionally, absorption reached a four-year high in the latter half of 2023 (93.3 MW), pushing vacancy rates down to a four-year low of just 2.5%.Market Share and Preleasing: Hillsboro’s data center stock now represents 5.1% of the total primary market inventory.

Maybe as an additional safety net set your DSCR% or cash on cash return a little higher than other areas you own. 

If you're bankable shop around and you will be competitive on rate and terms with banks without going through this arduous process of forming these unnecessary structures, transferring title and incurring additional transactional fees etc.

In addition to real estate, I’m an entrepreneur and proud owner of several online businesses.Beyond real estate, I’m a certified jeweler, having graduated from GIA, and I’m also a certified Day Trader and FL Housing-certified for affordable housing programs.

Perhaps, hiring a local co-host (or even a boutique manager) who is passionate about your property’s brand might be the sweet spot.PS: One interesting fact—Evolve’s 10% fee often excludes local vendor costs like cleaning, which can add up to an additional 10-15% of revenue.

Additionally, you can network with other real estate professionals and investors—if they own STRs, they can likely refer you to their CPA.If you prefer not to attend in-person meetups, consider joining local real estate groups online to connect with both tax professionals and investors.
