For lenders, I have access to private money lenders or if you want to go the traditional route, I recommend checking out Coast to Coast - Jeff Weller. 

@Dan GroveAs a private money lender I agree with Nicholas' sentiment.

I just secured a deal in Solterra which seems to have everything in order regarding rules.

Many experienced mentors in this group can help guide you in the right direction.I highly recommend saving as much as possible and setting aside a hedge fund for financial security.

I guarantee you are more likely to secure favorable terms if the seller likes you and can imagine you as a great operator for the business.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

This deal, i used my first successful buy and hold property and pulled a HELOC to secure financing and reserves.

We use private lending to finance the purchase and construction of this home.

Validate their Legitimacy:Ensure the company is properly licensed and regulated, particularly if you're working with private lenders.

So, your focus may need to pivot from high rental cash flow to little to no cash flow as a rental with an appreciation upside.I would recommend taking your $150K to $200K and securing a solid equity position in something that will cover its expenses and maybe provide a small cash flow, but then is poised to appreciate nicely over the course of the next several years.
