I am a LTR owner, getting ready to move into the STR game.

For me, I’ve been testing a few different methods recently, but I’m always looking for new ideas to take my wholesaling game to the next level. 

My dad and I (both with access to VA loans) are about to get into the multifam game and how we proceed is really going to depend on the true occupancy rules for the VA and our lender.

Out of the 50 addresses zero will probably be interested in selling so it's a numbers game before you find the one. 

On the flip side the clients I fund in my land deals are doing very very well in the foothill subdivision 50 miles or so west of the springs.. but thats the land game buy low sell high.. cant wholesale that stuff it needs to go on MLS to marketed and turn around time is generally 90 to 180 days but nice margins for my clients ..

If your game plan is to pay it off with prepaying all your money you absolutely need a HELOC however don't need to use.

Looking to upgrade my game and speed is of the essence.
