Terms for the seller 2nd have generally been 5%, interest only, 5 years.I'm only considering properties under this scenario that cashflow well immediately, hence the i/o payments, in addition to having a strong value-add element.

LTR or MTR so regardless of rent style you can go for the long, mid or short.Dayton, OH and Indianapolis, IN are two great cities that my California customers have found great 2-4 units over the last 2-3 years. 

Hi,I posted a mid-term rental on Furnished Finder.

I've worked with investors that have rolled out shipping container short term rentals and they're very popular! 

I have some experience 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?

For your long term success it does not matter as much if you have 10 doors or 100, as if your portfolio value is 500k or 5 million. 

It's a long-term appreciation play usually.

With the region's expanding infrastructure, business development, and population growth, it is well-positioned for long-term profitability.

You should be calculating Cap Ex for all long term items that will need replacement at some point - appliances, roofs, ac, water heater, etc.

You have to understand the REI is a long game to wealth.
