Hello Logan:I am looking for a mix of cash flow properties and homes that may appreciate over time more than the cash flow.

Some would include landlord-friendly laws in the mix but all of the above will all have a much greater impact on overall profitability.

When it comes to finding off-market deals, I’ve seen investors have success with a mix of these platforms, but each has its strengths depending on what criteria you’re focusing on:PropStream is a solid choice for in-depth data, including absentee owners, tax liens, code violations, and vacancies.

I've asked a few people and I'm getting mixed answers. 

DSCR Loans can finance property types that conventional loans cannot (non-warrantable condos, condotels, unique properties or mixed use properties...)Jay was going to say those things as other Ifs i am pretty sure!

Consider collaborating with local influencers or travel bloggers for exposure.Local partnerships: Connect with local businesses, wedding venues, or event planners for potential referrals.Targeted advertising: Use Facebook/Instagram ads to reach potential guests interested in Smoky Mountain getaways.Seasonality strategy: Adjust your pricing and minimum stay requirements based on local events and peak seasons.Long-term rental mix: Consider mixing in some medium-term rentals (1-3 months) during off-peak seasons for more stable income.Have you tried any of these strategies?

I have read mixed reviews as to what I can ask the prospect; if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated! 

Just make sure to check local zoning for mixed-use properties before you dive in. 

I personally like to have a mix of STR and LTR so that my portfolio is well diversified but my preference is LTR as I tend to focus more on appreciation than cash flow.

I got to 10 units in the first 10 months (not 10 properties though, some were duplexes) with a mix of 1. traditional financing, 2.
