The better companies have like packages you can choose from and it's all worked out and they know what they're doing. 1.

If Buyer chooses to seek financing, Buyer may do so at Buyer’s sole risk and expense by submitting a mortgage application to a mortgage lender or mortgage broker within five business days from the date of this Agreement, but the failure to apply for or secure financing in the amount or time or terms desired by Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from timely performance of all obligations under this Agreement.

I have read a few books and watched a lot of youtube videos but was wondering what anyone would do if they went back to when they were 14.

Besides a few YouTube videos that don’t explain much lol @Spencer Gray thank you, that’s definitely helpful :) what would you say is the best way to go about finding syndications to invest in through BP like you mentioned ?

There is also a video.

@Shane Ward The OP is from the Philly area, so a legitimate alternative option to buying an STR in a market they aren't close to / familiar with would be taking those funds to buy an actual investment property, and using the cashflow to fund vacations indefinitely at whatever destination they choose (especially since they already rotate between 3 different vacation markets due to friends & family).

I simply can not see cashbuyers being desperate enough to CHOOSE to deal with foundation issues.

Any advice for how to go about choosing the home to buy as a first time fix and flip investor?

I'm sure a lot of people do exactly what you are describing, but instead of renting all the units they choose to live in one and let the other tenants cover a part of their living expenses.
