Property was sitting on market and needed light updates (roof, flooring, paint) but was in a great area that allows STRs giving me multiple options when deciding on rental strategy How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

So it serves multiple purposes and I would strongly encourage it

Negotiated price down 10K even with a multiple offer.

I would aim for 100 Mbps to stream to multiple devices.

Multiple new accounts with almost 0 posts are saying they are good....RUN 

Curious to hear the good, the bad and the ugly from multiple perspectives. 

But after an exchange - sign the purchase documents with one pen and pick up another pen to sign the refi docs :)Another strategy you could consider is reinvesting into multiple properties, where you purchase the first property cash (ensures some security and concentrates the equity) and the second property with a mortgage.

I would pick a major tourist destination where it wasn't saturated with STR's already.That would take some research but you could google top vacation destinations and find a place you would go on vacation.

I’ve heard lots of professional investors bash LoopNet but I’ve had multiple home runs from deals I picked up there.

i would do fha and then go conventional to buy multiple properties.
