One golden rule I follow,if it takes a long time to fix/replace when it breaks, don't buy a cheap one.Imagine, this thing breaks in the middle of your peak season and the people who can come out to rebuild are 2 weeks out....It takes at least a day or two to build something like this even if you are super skilled.

@Kyle Trotman If you purchased with a hard money loan conventional lenders will require extensive seasoning to utilize the new appraised value for cash out.

Most commercial lenders do not require any seasoning for that entity which means that you can create an LLC and use that entity to purchase the property immediately as long as you have the proper documents.

Hello -  My husband and I are experience real estate investors, with several LTR/MTR/STR located in Ohio and Geogial,    in 2022,  we purchased a seasonal boutique motel in Western New York.   

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

Meaning truly intrinsic(2x DSCR not 1x DSCR), then roll the dice and lever the minimum you need to get the deal done and understand to put more to reserves than anything else for the first 3-5 years from your current and new property.The risk:reward ratio is very low when you factor in a lack of liquidity.

That does not require employment or job seasoning instead it uses the rents to qualify and you can take out up to 80% LTV cash.Use the cash to put down on the next 1-2 or more properties as long as the other properties are debt servicing themselves it opens up more opportuities to buy more future assets and increase your passice income.  

And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse).
