Assuming you have access to MLS (Multiple Listing Service, a place for agents to list deals).1) Look for deals that look like investor-type of deals (e.g. low purchase price, ugly houses, or sometimes MLS will even say what type of financing it is)2) If the buyer's info is there, voila.  3) Otherwise, contact the realtor to look for leads (that will be more of a uphill battle, but you never know...)

Leveraging financing to acquire multiple properties is a smart move for long-term wealth building. 

There are multiple implications- so it's best to work with a qualified professional to figure out what best meets your specific situation without unexpected consequences. 

If you are having a lot of interest and you are trying to avoid multiple showings that take up too much of your time.

I have completed multiple BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) projects, and this latest deal unexpectedly came my way.

Master negotiation skills, and always have multiple exit strategies.

There are multiple customizations for STR that could be made. 

We model deals for IRR and MOIC and like to see 17-25% IRR and a 2x multiple over 5 years. 

I think the right investor would do 2 units long term one unit short term. this strategy allows you the greatest flexibility. we are also developing an extended stay hotel that's 58 rooms. the size of the average room in that is 216 square feet and rents for a target $80 per night. our development cost per room is 100k per room with hard construction. the smaller you go the more money you make. if I was to suggest anything it would be to focus on the smaller part of the market and on multiple unit dwellings and finding and identifying markets that meet similar numbers. that will probably be midwest markets.

Since then, we've analyzed at least 75 deals across multiple markets, developed our buy box, and choose a strategy that aligns with our goals.
