@Brian GarlingtonWhere did this distinction between a trespasser and squatter.

Before you blow me off as a nut case, I've discovered that the largest 'wholesaler', by far, in the Raleigh area is Opendoor.

Largest privately owned industrial developer in the US is the one making the play on it now.

I purchased the largest square foot home I could afford in the area that I wanted to live.

The largest space for rent and the largest "cabin" space was the space over the barn and over the hay stalls, where a cabin type setup was built on top of that.  

There are obviously barriers to entry, but so far the largest is just finding legitimate ones to compare in order to learn enough to decide if the investment makes sense.

The largest cost will likely be your plumbing.

Whether a hard money lender offers a DSCR product or not, there's a huge distinction over the hard money portion that's generally short term and interest only with a long term DSCR loan that's typically amortized over 30 years.

I'm a member of the Boardroom Mastermind and one of the largest STR operators got his start from a very similar situation.

For rentals, you can find properties that need a simple cosmetic job that'll refi for 190-200k and bring in 1200-1300 in rent.On top of that is inventory, obviously, inventory is scarce everywhere, on average my team and I will clear just under 60 properties a month, and the largest majority of that comes from west + southwest.
