@Ben Omonira, I don't understand how a lawyer will help much with these things.

I would connect with top realtors in your market who understand the value of working with a wholesaler and try to figure out their buyer network.

We understand there are 0-3% DP programs, but for the purposes of this post, we are not talking about those.  

Your friend shows good sense and should maybe find a different advisor to help him find money.Knowledgeable private/hard money lenders understand that owner occupancy has virtually nothing to do with making a business-purpose loan.

Understanding these rules is essential for investors seeking to capitalize on the short-term rental loophole while maintaining compliance with tax regulations.

So from my understanding from your responses, it is possible to achieve market rates on properties without having to make necessary improvements and additions since units just need to meet minimum quality standard for section 8.

Hire a real estate CPA who understands how to use the tax deductions from your short-term rental and apply it to your ordinary income.

The seller's normally don't understand how much selling sub-to can jack up them up financially if the person buying the property stumbles.
