They are investor friendly and popular amongst wholesalers.

Hi @Michael ElliottWe have financed about 15 STRs in Encore for a client and I have another friend buying the second largest unit and the largest lot there.

Your choice should align with whether your goal is quick resale or long-term rental income, and you should consult lenders who specialize in both DSCR and rehab-friendly options.Best regards, Stevan

My current flip was bought from a wholesaler in a partnership with a builder friend of ours who has his own salaried framers, roofers, plumbers and electricians.  

I don't know the Baltimore market but have a friend who is a very savvy investor there and maybe he would do some coaching to help you understand which way is up.

To get started, consider focusing on house hacking in California with properties like duplexes or single-family homes with ADUs, or explore out-of-state rentals in landlord-friendly markets like Ohio or Georgia.

(Especially a 2-4 unit.)Do they have friends/relatives/co-workers that would rent rooms from them if they bought a property to show more income?

"@ Frank ChinIn this specific instance, it is undeniable that a house was built on that property more than 15 years ago simply based on Google Earth data, but you can see by the county assessor records that the house on the subject property was built in 1950 and then the property encroaching was built over the property line shortly thereafter, in 1951.@ Matt Devincenzo,From the info in your post, the land does not seem to have officially been taken by AP.

I’m searching for an investor-friendly carpenter and plumber.

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!
