I have called some local lenders (I prefer to deal with local banks if possible), but have not gotten very far.

Attend local builder associations or networking events, and focus on small contractors or businesses without in-house permit expertise.Highlight how you save time and ensure compliance—it’s a big value-add.

I'm sure there's other stuff you'll want to factor in - what businesses are moving to and from each areas. 

Otherwise, the tenant will make excuse after excuse to buy more time as they fall further and further behind.To find an attorney, suggest you visit your local court and lookup the landlord-tenant docket to ID attorneys with the most cases.

Although I don’t have experience in house flipping yet, I’ve successfully run a construction business back home.Due to the war, my family and I had to search for a new place to live.

Can you do this where you are or do you need to look out of your local area? 

I want enough money coming in so the business can sustain itself when issues occur with maintenance or vacancy.If you wanted to do this with only 20% down ($46,000), which is all you need for a conventional loan, here is how the calculations change.Total mortgage + escrow $1,493.33 per month with cashflow reduced to $306.67 per month.I prefer to overestimate purchase price, interest rates, and homeowners’ insurance to be conservative.

Hi @Ashley MillerBanner Elk is a great place for STR due to the busy summer season, ski season, and fall leaf color season.

My initial thought is that you are buying a business.

If you can invest locally, I'd recommend doing that before investing out of state.
