My goal is to wholesale to raise capital to do flips for shorter term investing and to buy and hold rentals for long term investing.

It's a good long-term store of value, and produces tax advantaged income.

For example, if someone suggests Short-Term Rentals (STR) or Mid-Term Rentals (MTR), I can manage them personally since I have the time.I'm open to various strategies, including single-family homes, multi-family properties, or niche markets, as long as they fit the above criteria.What types of properties or markets have you found to offer the best cashflow and ROI?

This project was a little short because of the weather delays.

@Emmanuel OlaIf you can get a longer term conventional loan I would choose that over a hard money loan every time - this is of course assuming the hard money loan has higher interest rate as well as a shorter maturity date

In short, what they offer is fraudulent and they well know it.
