That’s fine down the line, but for your first property, I’d lean toward familiarity.2.

Are they separate meters from the main home and does it have its own water / sewer lines?

It is good to know I'm not completely out of line for having the doubts I have about the "just get started and fail your way to success" mindset.

Are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"? 

@Taqiyyah Ellis, a business loan/line of credit or private lender will likely be your best and most realistic option.

We accepted a pre list offer of $236000.00 with us paying the closing and are scheduled to close mid March. 

I am responding as a consumer not a STR owner we had one its lasted for us for exactly one tenant then we felt it was too much work for the return  on investment we do much better loaning money and buidling new homes than to worry about people goofing up our homes :)I do have some MTR you know fully furnished homes in Vegas and those are money makers for us top of the line tneants paying double the going rate for rent.

Fantastic to have you on board.. do you have a reliable team lined up, or are you still scouting for pros?

They provide lines of 0% credit with an 8% fee, hard money and DSCR loans among others. https://www.rammfinancial.com/Thoughts?

Which will put it more in line with what we were expecting (and what our financial projections are based off of).
