Feel free to send me a private message and I'd be happy to show you what the numbers would look like selling through different channels. - Chris

There is a business side and there is the residential side- 4 Apartment units.

My next deal after that was 56 units privately owned by my wife and I, and now we closed a 100 unit.

Hey @Josh Goertzen - It's been a minute, good to see you've been busy! 

Nothing beats prospecting to find deals:1) driving for dollars2) door knocking3) cold callingThe great thing about #3 is that it can be handed off to a VA once you get busy, I know I run a Real Estate Call Center.

Every other house or business is boarded up.

Which will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the area.

I have private lenders but nobody for this right now.That is my problem.

It's a program that helps/teaches you how to access business credit to fund your business endeavors.

I personally don't like STR's because they are more of a business than an investment(in my opinion).You didn't mention the amount of hours that you and your spouse work but I would have to assume it be between 1900 to 2200 hours assuming you work 48 weeks and between 40 to 50 hours a week.If you buy a STR and self-manage it, you are added 200-300 hours per year in additional work making your life more stressful and less time to do things that you enjoy.Best of luck.
