It would be good to also have that in hand to know where your legally stand.

Wealth Building: Paying off the first STR focuses on cash flow and financial security, while buying another property focuses on scaling and wealth building.

Can anyone recommend some stand up lenders I can speak to?

That had even a passing resemblance to tax returns or financial statements4.

@Derick JenningsRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Till then my experience stands.  

If it doesn’t make financial sense or feels too risky, there’s no shame in passing on this one.

I'm looking to get their "package" which includes a Holding company, LLC Subsidiary​, Corporate Financial Program and an Estate Plan.

Or how could anyone stand to live there LOL.

It wasn't fun living an hour and a half from work and play, but absolutely worth it.If one is starting with relatively low living expenses, cash flow can be extremely powerful towards reaching financial freedom.
