We’ve been exploring CHBO, which is similar to Furnished Finder but connects with insurance adjusters and relocation companies, potentially filling larger rentals faster.

If I was going to improve on one thing, I could certainly tighten up my turnover process and make units ready to rent again a little faster or even advertise a little ahead of when they are ready.

Many investors are feeling the squeeze from traditional lenders, so it's no surprise that more are turning to private money lenders to access capital faster.

Each strategy seems to have its pros and cons, and I’m curious what the community thinks.Do fix and flips provide faster returns, or do the long-term benefits of rental income make holding onto properties more appealing?

@Irene Morgovsky what you are experiencing is that rents do NOT increase linearly with property values.Or look at it another way, the pool of renters that can afford higher & higher rents, shrinks faster than a corresponding pool of buyers.You could look into making it a short-term rental to try to improve rental income, but:1) Is it allowed in that area2) STR rates are coming downYou may have to accept "negative income" or sell.

Did they allow you to grow your portfolio faster than traditional financing would?

While these loans come with higher interest rates, they are generally faster to secure and more flexible.

Unfortunately I don't and I do feel more comfortable gathering the data and doing the analysis myself regardless so I was wondering if there are tools to help me do it faster.

You can lean on them, ask questions, and figure out things so much faster.

Thanks for the update.For me the turnover time could be faster, but isn't crazy if it's getting cleaned up one week and another week or two to show.Given the location I don't think the renters will be treating the place too differently than if you were managing it yourself.
