I suggest reading the forums, blogs, webinars etc about it.Basically they are notes backed by real estate where the person stopped paying for one reason or another.

Does anybody have any recommendations or suggestions of other services I should try or good/ bad experiences using furnished finder?

Start with one deal whether it's a house hack or a simple one.

We as a firm have investors working with us who have rental properties all over the US big and small.Finding a real estate-focused tax professional and one who can help with advisory and grow with you would be my suggestion to focus your efforts on finding.

I highly suggest that you tune in to the BiggerPockets Podcast and connect with the local lenders and brokers of the market you choose.

They suggested an alternative method, but I would need to provide more information, like passport, which I refused.

@Tanner Lewis the new build 4plex is already prepped to be built the builder is just waiting for a buyer before they start the project. so i wont have to go to a hard money lender. how its going to work is 10% of the total cost so 77500 i will have to upfront deposit to the builder. the builder will then go to get a construction loan and start the project. after 6months if i back out of the deal the builder will keep the deposit, if i continue then that deposit will count towards my down payment. and the cabins i am thinking to maybe build myself with a blueprint/kit or have a local builder help me with them. i dont want to do anything crazy just a simple but aesthetic cabin. but yeah will require examining the land and getting permits and all that.

I recommend a simple spreadsheet to check your math and it will make it simple to adjust each year.End the complaints.

Secondly, wholesaling is simple to learn but not simple to do.

But again, I'm open to hearing other suggestions please :-)
