Close on the property- Purchase a Home Owners Warranty to cover the HVAC. 

Thinking of trying to market to a handful of homeowners that would like us to manage the STR for a % of revenue.

Federal debt and fear of hyper inflation has homeowners in a gridlock.

This will help direct your search to the right areas, property types and price point.If you're purchasing all-cash, skip that step.Depending on your goal and preferred timeline for closing, the majority of your time should be spent searching for and analyzing deals.Searching: Look at public listing sites; connect with an investor friendly agent and choose 1 to work with who can search MLS and off-market inventory; for additional off-market options, consider growing your own database of wholesalers and homeowners Analyzing: Your agent can send comps and you can also search public listing sites for sold homes.

I do however, have full availability on my HELOC, various credit cards that are offering me 0% balance transfer checks for up to 12 months, and various retirement funds (Roth IRA, traditional 401k, etc.)I'm already a homeowner in SoCal, but I want to buy my first LTR SFR someplace like Cleveland since the price point is attractive.

But I am still over 760.But they told me because I am not a previous home owner?  

Hi @Paul Rook, I don't have any experience with the company you mentioned but a handy resource for homeowners to check ANY contractor or trades person is lni.wa.gov.

It allowed him to keep the money he was willing to use for a down payment for emergencies, which made life as a homeowner less stressful.

There, you will get an idea of what other homeowners are looking to accomplish.

There tends to be less competition from every day home owners who need to move in the spring/summer before the new school year starts and thus the possibility of having more leverage on sellers.
