I furnish about 80% of my properties off of facebook market place and places like that. 

It goes to your preference, of course, but whichever can produce the greatest ROI should be considered.There are many markets in Michigan, for example, where it is cheaper to buy an existing house and fix it up than it is to build new.That may not be the case where you are at or through the construction suppliers and contractors you may have access to.To Your Success!

Hi Kedric, welcome and I'm in the Atlanta Market.

What is the market rent?

@Cosmo DePinto, I can provide further insight on behalf of my market.

Hey Dustin,In addition to owning multiple STR's and managing 65 units primarily in Tampa/St Pete area, I also am a licensed broker where I primarily act as a buyers agent assisting buyers like yourself make the best selection of both on and off market properties. 

In many markets section 8 is higher than market rate. and investors need that extra return to mitigate the risk of sec 8 tenants generally speaking.

I’ve looked into blanket loans before, but I’m curious about how they’re shaping up in today’s market.

we have investors who are trying to decide between long term rentals on new builds and short term rentals on new builds in midwest markets in urban adjacent core neighborhoods. how are yours performing?

Last short term rental we put on the market was booked for a 30 day stay first day on the market.
