Now if  you want to partner with someone locally who will do the tasks you don't want to do or has better skills for than you - now that is a workable model.

Your are probably closer then you think to a workable strategy.

What you'll get when crossing the two is anyone's guess.It is not uncommon for the bank to "need" anywhere between 4 months at 2 years to transact, and if there is a wholesaler involved it will create an even fuzzier picture unless you can cut to the source.I would recommend emphasizing that the wholesaler's fee is protected (IF the price you've discussed with them is workable) and that you will do protect that vigorously, BUT request (or require) that the wholesaler connect you with the agent representing the bank.  

House hacking with FHA on the NW side can be tough but targeting a duplex at $500k or less in those neighborhoods would be workable given the FHA limits.Scenarios #1 and #3 both delay your plans to invest in real estate, unless you would plan to move out of the condo and rent.

It would be great if you've found a new way to legally and workably operate and avoid the strict investor limit of going the traditional route.

And for this area, which seems to be in an 'economic bubble', regardless of what is happening elsewhere, balancing appreciation with cash flow is a workable strategy.

This is not workable on the SBA timeline.

New and exciting adjustments for both sides are occurring and they haven’t found a workable pace yet. 

Dependent on the market owning the property and running an STR can be a great investment.There was a reply that mentioned spreading out the risk and that's important to the conversation because a bad guest can impact cash flow or future cash flow, however that is the nature of that business and one you will plan for.As long as you're holding a title to a property, paying down a note and at least breaking even, maintaining and improving over time the property... that's an investment in my book.AirBnB Austin is gonna be different beast than DFW or whatever too, find a model that is workable.

Any thoughts on whether this would be a workable idea or whether it would be too much to take on?
