It seems like nothing cash flows unless I do a STR, and decorating an Airbnb alone eats up a large chunk of my cash.

So you pull out your equity, your mortgage payment might increase from $2700.And that refinance is still debt, meaning you won't qualify for as large of a loan on your next house.If you want to buy a stepping-stone property now to prepare you for a better home later, you should focus on buying something to sell it.

I own a large portfolio of single family rental in Memphis, TN, I'm happy to share my experiences and my network with you. 

Look at whether any large companies are moving to the proximity? 

Looking at the bio on their website, the CEO does not mention they have ANY real estate experience, nor does the asset manager.

Did you post in ALE and Corporate Rental by owner websites?

Excellent feedback. 

I own 93 acres with a fully stocked, private large pond/small lake in a coveted area of the Triangle in NC where you can't find this much acreage available, and I would like to know the best way to partner with a development company or other organization to create a high end, beautiful community on this site. 

If so, sounds great -but the reality is that this means they are only going to list it on their website and maybe Zillow, but not on any MLS so other agents can see it and bring prospects (because agents expect 50% of one month of rent to do this!).

I am interested in buy and hold deals to generate a large amount of passive income so that I can angel invest and be financially free.
