And a far larger amount than bitcoin.

Selling several properties and using the proceeds to purchase one larger property.

I'd also recommend joining a local Indianapolis based REIA asap. the REIA will provide a group of investors who could get you some contractor recommends if you decide to GC the prop yourself.You said it "needs a little work done" but budgeted $50k so those two things kind of contradict unless the home is a larger home...just curious, what's "a little work", if you haven't had an inspection yet and don't feel comfortable evaluating the costs on your own?

@Mary LopezYou have to ask around to local commercial lenders or some of the larger Finance of America type lenders.

Or, from a business perspective, much better to use that time and energy to create a STR management business instead of arbitraging.  

One thing I did note is my insurance is $3K a year lower due to the monitored fire suppression system in these larger properties versus my smaller properties that sleep 12 or less built close to the same time.As someone who has lived in Illinois twice, the politicians there don't care if people burn as long as they can tax and spend. 

Consider buying, rehabbing, renting, refinancing, repeating, expanding into larger multifamily properties, or diversifying into other markets.

Also, its much cheaper to send a larger volume of street view postcards or letters using a large printing company than it is to send through deal machine.

Keep up the great energy.

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Chris Seveney, take all the shadiness that can happen in the larger MF space, and multiply it by 10, or 100 for the single family space.
