Nashville is such a great market to get started in! 

We are Canadian in invest in the US.We work in the Detroit market where we have a great team on the ground and are finding exceptional deals.

If I just make a single listing on FF for this 5/2 and say list it for $4000 / month (market in this area), how would I get 2-3 random nurses to commit to the property?

I own one rental house in Cypress, but with the current market I have not been able to find another existing single family home to buy that looks like a good investment. 

I am now looking to enter the Chicago market, I have heard good things about that market.

Based in Santa Monica, focused on out-of-state markets with strong growth.Not here for sales pitches, just real connections, real deals, and real conversations.

I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.

Quote from @Jaren Taylor: Quote from @Chris Mason: If you have the ability to market and raise money, then you secure the down payment, and do the normal commercial mortgage process. 

What marketing efforts are they going to do outside of just posting in the MLS.

.🔹 Profit Multiple Ways – You can rent the property for cash flow, sell the option at a profit, or buy it later at a pre-agreed price (often below market value).🔹 Great for Sellers & Investors – Motivated sellers can turn a vacant or hard-to-sell property into income while investors secure future deals without a huge upfront commitment.🔹 Ideal in Any Market – Whether home prices are rising or falling, lease options allow you to lock in today’s price while benefiting from future appreciation.Other creative strategies—like seller financing, subject-to deals, and the BRRRR method—can also open doors, but lease options remain one of the most powerful, low-risk, minimal cash out-of-pocket ways to build a portfolio.
