Don't hesitate to go slow initially, learn from the first few deals, and pick up the pace once you've locked in your process.Good luck!

I’m looking to fill my idle time with draw inspections multiple times a week by getting my name out there more. 

Free and/or paid content creators staying during slow days (Monday-Tuesday)2.

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

The rates and terms are usually more favorable than DSCR loans, so I’d lean toward conventional financing while you can still qualify.BRRRR Method: The BRRRR strategy can be powerful, but it might slow you down a bit due to the current cash-out refinance seasoning periods, which can be as long as 12 months.

>you don't need to bash the Carl's in order to make a point.When the Carls were saying drive to vacation markets were recession proof, some BP users, including myself, pointed out that they (the Carls) had not been through a major recession (and this is not a major recession but a slight slow down).  

Remember, grow slow and sturdy, then explode with growth.

Retail and data center REITs lead, with Realty Income and Digital Realty Trust among top fundraisers.While REITs raised significant capital, property acquisitions have slowed, with more sales than purchases recorded.

I was getting ready to slow way down and do an esop .

After reading and talking to my lender which didn't offer it (similar to what @Drew Sygit said) I went the conventional route and used cash for the remodel. 203k loans have hurdles, payment draws, specific contractors (grosssss), and other requirements that slow you down or cost money.Investors have found success with (203) loans it but consider your overall goal, budget, and timeline.
