I have been looking to get into a property in a very similar fashion as yourself and have posed the same question to my mortgage broker.

I know we all have to start somewhere but honestly I don't think I would place any property under management with anyone who has no experience with management or who had no experienced party on board for training and start up in the beginning.I'm sure you can accomplish your goals but you might have to re-tool or tool up in some form or fashion.

Closing costs do not scale up and down with loan amount in a linear fashion.

For the latter, one of the items I've come across is of course how to finance deals, in particular, the good ole fashioned way of securing a loan.

Could you re-state your story in a more clear fashion.

There are other approaches that could be considered, such as a deferred sales trust, although that ties one's money up in a non-liquid fashion, capital gains are recognized gradually over time, and the plan has some ongoing costs and hassles. 

As a multi business owner AND REI of a couple fashions, my best and easiest experience is doing what I first suggested, find a smaller local bank, 3 branch offices or less, make a relationship, make sure they do portfolio lending, and you should be set on everything from RE to the car loans.

Account Closed  welcome to the site.Id recommend some old fashioned W2'd income to get you started.

You can use Everbooked and AirDNA to get high level estimates for your ADR and Occupancy rates but in the end, I usually like to supplement (especially if I'm getting serious about a property) with good old fashion legwork with calls to local property management companies and review of nearby listings on Airbnb/VRBO.  

Simple, good old fashioned networking.
