We are in the middle of a couple really interesting deals the involve HTC and I would love to hear other stories of this strategy.

For a little context we bought our first home in Nashville 11 years ago, and have been working hard to put some of our equity to work on a 2nd home east of town nearby many of the State Parks and spots we frequent as a family (about 1-1.5 hrs east of Nashville), plus list the property as an STR.

The East Side, Bayview, Riverwest, Washington Heights, Walker's Point, etc tend to be the more well known B-class areas that can have attractive options.

@Chelsea Knapp I am looking around east Buffalo in the Depew, Lancaster, Elma, and Cheektowaga areas as well as some stuff near Canisius college as those are the areas that my girlfriend and I are most knowledgeable about.

I am looking for to purchase my first STR in the Poconos/East Stroudsburg area.

That way nobody's wasting any time.Brokers are pretty great because, yes they are middle men, but they broker to wholesaler lenders, not retail lenders.

I was in contact with the owner for years leading up to this, he lived on the east coast.

I'm gonna cut and paste from another thread :)https://www.biggerpockets.com/...in the middle of that link you will see "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down".

It's in the middle of no where so the rental market is super low.
