Quote from @Chris Watkins: Quote from @Chris Watkins: Quote from @Eric Lee: Hi all,I'm looking to acquire my first rental property and am strongly leaning towards a short-term rental while doing a MTR for off-peak seasons.

The highest appreciating markets and those with the greatest rental demand/price- like those in Florida and Texas - also cost more to acquire and insure. 

I am noticing for the others I am trying to acquire I am the only bidder.

DM me if you need help acquiring or managing.

From there I'd look to refi and use the cash to then acquire STR's or potentially bigger multi-family/apartments.

We agreed on seller financing terms, and I acquired a cash-flowing property with minimal out-of-pocket expenses.

I acquired a 3-flat in Humboldt a couple months ago who had two units not paying (ouch).

Maybe acquire some tax deeds, then rent them out

Discuss this with the lender before proceeding.Partnership or Joint Venture:Structure the purchase with a partner or entity while maintaining the assumption in your name.This allows you to benefit from the entity's structure while complying with VA loan rules.Entity-Owned Financing:If assuming the VA loan isn’t feasible, explore refinancing into a non-VA loan owned by your entity after the property is acquired.4.
