@Tyler Bushey nice try, those of us with oil are often a mile or miles from natural gas and propane is $$$ and even if you had gas if  you have one boiler it doesn't solve the problem. 

. 🧐  My son is a natural entrepreneur.  

This means 20-25% for a down payment, and it has to be your money that you're using (verifiably in an account that belongs to you).Though there are programs that lend up to 90/100 to first-time investors, those programs usually don't work in Maine due to the rural nature.

LeadSherpa is a good service i had a lot of experience with if you want to go that route.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

However if I do a BRRRR I can achieve infinite return by extracting all of my investment.

(I don’t do STR deals so my comments are more about long term buy and hold residential RE.)Data by its nature is historical - it’s a lagging indicator. 4 years ago the Southeast was the place to be.

I guess in cases of infidelity that can be a natural mind set.

We can discuss the finances on this purchase (I will be up close to $1m on this after this rehab from 3 sources: 1) purchased below retail 2) value add 3) natural appreciation).  

Or build up enough equity to dump properties and get into multi family or something of that nature.

This is simply predatory in nature full stop.I have sold many of my OREO props on low down ZERO percent financing but they were at market prices and the buyers owned them free and clear in 24 to 36 months that works.. but long term contracts on these homes is not a solution for neighborhood revitalization just the opposite.
