I changed my strategy from 2 years ago of acquiring more doors and "cash flow" to now looking at the asset if I continue to buy. 

Local property managers are another great way to find buyers for your investment property as they know investors looking to acquire more property and investor friendly Realtors to help you find buyers.To Your Success!

Quote from @Chris Watkins: Quote from @Chris Watkins: Quote from @Eric Lee: Hi all,I'm looking to acquire my first rental property and am strongly leaning towards a short-term rental while doing a MTR for off-peak seasons.

This is how I acquired 29 rental houses in 9 years.

Shortly after Roofstock acquired them I have seen improvements and haven't had issues with bank account connectivity.  

The highest appreciating markets and those with the greatest rental demand/price- like those in Florida and Texas - also cost more to acquire and insure. 

This strengthens your personal credit profile and gives you greater borrowing power to build your business, acquire properties, etc.What you propose does not do that.Food for thought...

Thanks for the suggestion. to answer yours, I’m hoping to start with acquiring, then eventually development.

@Francisco Ruiz ensure that if you are obtaining financing, you ask/ensure with your lender that they do not have any issues with the fact that the property you are acquiring may appraise as "rural."

We agreed on seller financing terms, and I acquired a cash-flowing property with minimal out-of-pocket expenses.
