All but one of the family members are on board, and we collectively own the majority, but it's 55% and the bank requires 60%.

These tax deductions do not require you to become a real estate professional.

Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?

Hi @Frank Pyle,**I am not affiliated with any of the companies mentioned**To secure long-term financing for your Airbnb, look for DSCR lenders that accept pro forma income instead of requiring 12 months of rental history.

If you are not already working with a realtor that is well versed in STR and knows ALL of the requirements for STR, do yourself a favor and reach out to @Josh Green.

If it requires a mobile closing we use Michigan Investment Title because they willclose anywhere at no cost unless it's a ruralarea but downside is they require wires for everything which alot of title companies are starting to require anyways.

2) The minimum hours required are 750 hrs, but if running a short term rental, 100 hrs is supposed to be adequate, is that still true ?

I especially liked Matt's process of creating my business plan as it forced me to really think about it, get it right and make it easily understood by my clients.His process for the offering also made me think about transparency and other ethical issues that are required by law to be disclosed in the offering.

Conventional loans will require 12 months seasoning for cash out and are usually capped at 75% LTV 2.

One of my wholesale lenders used to be willing to finance these, I can't remember the CLTV requirement of the top.
