Feel free to also chime in with any other advice in general as well.

Attend your local REI meetups to build up a strong network and feel free to reach out and connect with everyone in the community.

I have one in that neighborhood that got some tornado damage and I got a free new roof and siding from the insurance company lol.

Feel free to connect. 

Hi all, Do you know any free or low cost app for property management that has a daily late fee charge options?

Hi @Travis Peterson.It's always best to talk to a local loan officer as they are licensed in our state and have access to options beyond what banks may offer.I will DM you lenders who have helped my BiggerPockets STR clients buy in Scottsdale and Metro Phoenix.And I would be happy to be a resource for you, so please feel free to reach out.Melanie

Lenders will want to verify this with monthly rental lease payments, utility bill, or a LOE from a relative if you live rent free. 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out
