I've done a couple of direct loans, but for the most part, I work with a mortgage broker who brings deals to me.

Has anybody recommendations of cheap markets to buy rentals where we a young couple could peotentially live in vicinity to a good job market/bigger city? 

We are considering joining a couple mentor groups to build relationships with more investors.

Hi Dean - we had access to a DSCR product until a couple weeks ago - it's currently paused, per my conversation with one of the loan brokers I work with. 

I am also surprised that a couple could have credit scores 100 points apart. 

And it doesn't seem to spoil the charm for couples on a romantic getaway.We've been able to raise the nightly rate 2-3x with better occupancy. 

I have a couple of investments and am about to jump into a Short term rental while still being a w-2 employee.

Due to our love of traveling and hating the negatives that LTR brings along, we prefer STR and offering the same memorable experiences to travelers that we have experienced when traveling.

My market is San Diego so I do not have direct referral for a GC in north Hollywood but I will say my preferred way to get contractors is direct referral.

I will be fully moved to Denver over the next couple of weeks.
