Low fees and the same level of service as another exchange company. 

I’ve helped several clients in similar situations find their first vacation properties here in Florida, and the Panhandle is fantastic for beginners because of its year-round tourism and robust support networks (property managers, cleaning services, etc.).

I’ve worked with a few tools for property intel, and while no service is 100% accurate, some options have stood out for specific use cases:BatchLeads: They offer a solid skip-tracing tool with good accuracy and detailed reports.

I have a few good friends that would use me if I can service their HM needs.

The service went downhill.

So, I hope you have a speed dialer and a large cup of coffee.If you want low, competitive rates, fast closings and great service, work with a broker. 

Connect with lenders and brokers, see what rates are out there, underwrite the deal and see if it makes sense after debt service. 

@Dalton Foote I have had tremendous success using direct mail and mailing the owner of record where the tax bills get mailed to.Generally, property management companies don’t pay the real estate taxes so this gets me right to the owner.Targeting wise, I would just do a zip code filtered by unit count using a service like listsource.  

The challenge we're facing is the lack of short term rental data for the appraiser, and we won't know if it will meet the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) requirements until the appraisal is complete.Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?

You can deduct legitimate business expenses, such as internet services (e.g., Starlink) and R&D equipment.
