I am looking for buy-and-hold long-term rentals that require only minor fixup, if any.

Due to more favorable loan terms (and a bit of impatience/ignorance on my part) we went the traditional financing route for the property, with my wife and I both being on the loan. 

Hello everyone, I've done 3 buy and hold rental properties, and now I want to do flips, I need investors and I have some that have shown interest, in addition to speaking to private lenders that are willing to fund 70% of the LTV (based on the desired property)I'm seeing a lot of deals from wholesalers, but the problem is, some of them close in 2 weeks and some as long as a month, and they don't take conditional offers, and the good ones fly off the shelf really quick.My question is, how does someone like me close one of those deals within this short period, how do you arrange the equity and financing with little to no inspections sometimes even.I'd like to know how do I prepare myself to be able to close one of these good deals right away when they are offered to me and many others?

Which ever home you choose as the main home it will be a tax deduction so it should work out in the long run.Another thing to consider is having two primary homes does not offer a great Schedule E option where you can have the bigger tax shelter. 

In terms of financing, one thing that might be worth exploring is connecting with local banks or credit unions that are more familiar with the market in Ohio-they often offer more flexible terms compared to larger national lenders.PS: Here’s an interesting tidbit-Ohio has one of the lowest property tax rates in the country, making it even more attractive for real estate investors.

I didn't realize the market in Dallas had shifted so much in terms of price and cost.

To attract long-term, responsible tenants, focus on these key factors:Homeownership vs.

In your networking/loan terms search I'd reframe your ask, because what you are asking for sounds MORE risky and therefore difficult than another request.

I would also consider how long in the vet lease going to be, and what is your exit strategy.
