Hey @Timothy Frazier,Majority of HML's will only take 1st position!

The only major difference is usually prepayment penalties and maybe some obscure, unusual loan terms in certain cases. 

I still am on the lists of all the major wholesalers and still show up to showings occasionally on properties that might have enough margin for me but have not purchased recently from a wholesaler.Just like Adrien says, they provide a service of marketing and negotiating contracts for you.

To the nuts and bolt question of what defines occupancy, it is the place you reside and spend the majority of your time/nights.

If you are looking for a good 1031 QI, let me know as I have one that a majority of our clients work with.

I’ve been researching options like offering fully furnished rentals for traveling professionals or executives, especially with major employers expanding their footprints in the region.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Since you just starting to rent it out I would include the down payment and any major repairs you have done.

I think access is a major stumbling block to the Oregon coast. its just a long way from everywhere.. and the amenties as you state that are missing.Its super popular though for Oregionians no doubt.Keep in mind though from Jenner CA north through Ft.

I do not recommend someone who has never owned real estate to do a fix and flip as real estate is challenging and cost prohibitive, I recommend if never owning real estate to start with an asset that does not need major repairs.
