If you’re really set on building a portfolio, this might be a good way to go since it’ll give you the liquidity to take on more properties.BRRRR: If you’re leaning towards long-term rental income and portfolio growth, the BRRRR method could be an attractive option, but you’re right to consider the numbers carefully.

I had a few houses that lost about 30k in equity overnight in the area (had been considering selling to do a 1031 into some new builds, but that turned into a less attractive idea after the equity drop).

I'm curious how something like that would work with land that doesn't have an income producing rental on it yet? 

Their 100% LTC is attractive, but their rates might be on the higher end for short-term loans.Lima One Capital: A solid option, especially for more experienced lenders.

They were willing to look past crypto when it was small, but the bigger it gets, the more attention it attracts. 

This should be required reading for new investors, drooling over the great cashflow they will make buying crappy houses in crappy neighborhoods that attract crappy tenants.

The market is saturated with STR's further from the beach and attractions, so my advice is to be picky about your location and underwrite the numbers carefully to make sure the investment will be profitable. 

Real estate investments (STRs, MTRs, live in flips) have produced my best returns by a good margin.

They are cash flow positive and have over 1B in assets ( net is close to 350million ) I’m only thinking that the seller wanted to make it attractive to sell his building having no renewal option which can give some leverage to new owner.

Same logic applies here as it does to your previous experience, there's just simply an added layer of the income produced by the property.
