I have called many lenders, and finding one that allows up to 10 mortgages per person is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I know that I don't have the experience or risk tolerance needed to handle a deal without plenty of cushion.There's always another deal out there - it's just a needle in a haystack around here lately.  

Last year and even earlier this year, 70% all-in (acquisition costs + rehab costs) of exit values was not a needle in a haystack, now, 75% is the new 70%.

You might find the proverbial needle in a haystack from the one branch local community bank in a one stop light town but beyond that, unless you are an institutional investor, you are out of the market and watching from the sidelines.

We invest in condos. Most are need a lot of work. We make them pretty, furnish them, and rent out to people looking to rent for a month or three. Travel nurses, people building a home, relocating to the area, ect. We ...

But as a Realtor, I love to find that needle in the haystack for my clients. 

Understand that most PMs absolutely suck and will cost you way more money than they are worth, and that a great one is a needle in a haystack ... a great PM will not necessarily be the one with the lowest fees ... you need to find that needle in the haystack BEFORE you even think about buying anything.One other bit of advise would be to spend the extra money to buy quality properties, that will attract quality tenants, and make your PMs (and in turn your) life easier ... these properties won't show as high of cash flow on paper as the rough end of town, but a nice B-class neighborhood over a cheaper C (or worse) class neighborhood will be money well spent, especially your first time out of the gate as a OOS investor.

I also used a smart phone and went through at the same time as the realtor and video the walk through so that I could show my buyers pics and video.Anyways, yeah... you will probably be looking for a needle in a haystack and have to go through a lot of marketing/time/leg work/etc to find a good deal.

It might take a year or two, but its a safer way of investing and probably one of the only ways to do it unless you find that "needle in a haystack" seller that would seller finance a deal.  

This is what I call a needle in a haystack strategy. 2) Reaching out to hosts on Airbnb - Airbnb does not allow solicitation and you could risk getting your account banned.
