build, rent, refinance, repeat. different strategy but more scalable. land is a buyer's market in most cities in america with more than 6 months supply. in our market in columbus it's more than 12 months supply of land. no one is doing this strategy and you can customize your design to anything you want.

Quote from @Adrian Lammersdorf-Scioll: I'm helping a buyer right now that works int he hospital get 5% funded for them on a home, that may be something to look into, it's called hometown heroes here in Florida.  

There are a few options(1)You can get connected with the larger wholesaler firms in the area (2) go through PCPAO site and skiptrace the buyers of similar properties as yours, (3) hunt down the agents involved in the sale of properties similar to yours or go to local REI meetings and pitch it to the investors there. 

Owner, buyer, and the bank.

The other challenge is selling it, there is a smaller buyer pool for hospitality in a small market but that was known going in Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Andrew Albritton Yes, a 1031 exchange is possible, but since your in-laws are related parties, both you (the buyer) and they (the sellers) must hold onto the exchanged properties for at least two years to comply with IRS rules.

We are at the top of this boom cycle, and the time is not right for the average buyer to make that move in many areas.Keep in mind that the faster/higher the boom, the faster and more severe the bust. 

This trend has continued since 2024, and buyers absolutely love them.

In either case, the longer a property remains on the market, the more motivated the seller often becomes to offload it.Savvy buyers understand this and often target properties that have been listed for three months or more.

I don't get the term "DSCR loan"   I mean all loans for 5+ units are based more on the property than the buyer.
