A lot of people decide to bring/raise investor money to the table as a foot in the door, but I also think there is options to be more creative and do the same thing.

Keep your options open besides wholesalers and good deals for you are good regardless of how they are found. 

Inspection period (I do not know PA), but in contracts there are typically options to get out through the inspection period and get your money back.

Most houses in the Poconos don’t even have Memorial Day weekend booked, which is typically a huge weekend and typically books up well in advance.

I love the options on BiggerPockets and all of the podcast.

HELOC is another option too as long as your DTI can support it. 

If you wait at least 90 says from the purchase date - the options tend to open up for better rates and lower cost.

PriceLabs has worked well for me, but there are many options.  

The investment purchases are through the roof and a lot of that stems from the great STR/VRBO options available.

As I understand, I'm still responsible for paying condominium fees and property taxes, which is becoming a significant burden for my household.I'm exploring options to recoup at least half of the property's value, considering it's currently uninhabitable.
