You should consult with a landlord attorney in your state to get advice to ensure you follow proper, legal steps.

I just walked away because it’s better if I don’t get involved in something that may or may not even be legal.

In most places, like Benjamin already mentioned, STRs and MTRs have different legal requirements and considerations.

@Nicolas Dupuis you definitely can use the projected rental income to help you qualify for a higher purchase price when purchasing a multi-family home with a conventional loan.

Would definitely recommend hiring at least 3 on an hourly rate and see who performs best.

Yes, sir, you should definitely tell the seller you’re a wholesaler.

Unfortunately, I am not a broker so I can’t legally do that in MN.  

I do notice a lot of successful real estate investors drive pretty old cars (not that driving an old car will make you a successful real estate investor).I don't know if I'd ever buy/lease a "dream car" but I would definitely fly to Germany, rent a Mercedes, and go wild on the Autobahn.

You will definitely get some stupid people that you have to deal with.

I just want to find a completely legal way to invest in real estate.
