Quite often with my knowledge.I myself currently understand that the better the job I do negotiating on a property in putting a transaction together, the greater my return will be.This needs to be understood, and throw out the numbers.A friend of mine recently made $100,000 in five weeks.

I know of several STR operators in Cleveland, but I have a feeling with the number of properties they run, the cleaners are pretty well tied up.

You'll need to find a small local bank or credit union that might lend to you.2) Will your grandfather cosign for you to compensate for your lack of a job?

As long as it was "free" buyers often worked with a family member, now that it costs money buyer agents will have to interview to get the job, which means a lot of agents will be gone.

In a rural area with no jobs, your odds of finding a good tenant or a good buyer are limited. 

To handle daily operations, tenant selection, upkeep, and rent collection, think about working with a property management business.

Do I need to go be apart of a real estate firm as a part time job for a year or so and get knowledge of all the paperwork and fundamentals involved?

However, two things that are a big unknown and was wondering if this would automatically disqualify me... 1) I had a foreclosure on a condo that finalized in Feb 2019, so more than 5 years ago. 2) I work for myself and been doing this officially for 1 year only (prior to that I had a high W2 job).

Due to my job, I have very little time to actively manage and am requiring everything from furnishing, renovating, and handling the daily responsibilities of managing a short term rental.
