If you initially end up needing to raise rents I like to do them one at a time to minimize potential turnover from happening in multiple units at once.

There's so much growth potential in Columbus Ohio and the best way I can characterize this market is it provides good positive cash flow but amazing appreciation potential.

I've never done any Sacramento STR loans and only been hit up for one potential financing opportunity there.

The stock market offers liquidity and potential appreciation but comes with volatility.

You could potentially put as little as 3% down if it's a single family home and 5% down for 2-4 units.

I haven't thought as far ahead as looking at potential areas to buy property.

The property will be strictly for investment purposes, not a primary residence.I’ve been looking into two potential financing options:Hard Money Lenders (HML) – I’m drawn to this option for its speed in closing, but I know the rates can be higher.DSCR Loans – This seems like a great option for long-term rentals, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for my auction property since it might need some rehabbing.I’m also considering purchasing through a land trust or an LLC to add a layer of protection and privacy.So, my questions are:What’s the best way to approach financing for auction properties?

Building a trusted team is key, so starting that process as you actively search for your market will put you in a strong position moving forward.River - Would you prioritize meeting these team members over going to see some potential properties for a first visit?

The Banderas Bay area (from PV to Punta Mita) has lots of potential with the economic growth and the tourism industry expanding north towards San Blas with over 30% appreciation in the past 3 years.

This is a creative scenario with some real potential.
