There is no direct way.

When I will be renting a room or basement in my house (that I will be buying as primary residence), I’m planning for the roommate to just zell me the monthly rent directly to my back account.

Get to your local RE meetup, If you have a deal show it to someone doing deals.

Looking to pursue some deals in the area and would like to get in touch with an agent who is specialized and experienced in the STR space.

Just stacking up $ for a brrrr deal at the moment.

@John Bertolonfollow the requirements of your leases and local lawthere may be deferred maintenance if this is a new acquisitionif you don't want to deal with it yourself hire a PMgood luck

BP has various tools to help you analyze your deals (rentals, flips, wholesale, etc). : https://www.biggerpockets.com/investment-calculators7.

Purchase price: $290 New Fix and Flip deal

looking back I got a decent deal but it took too long to close and I need to find a team for the long term to accumulate fourplexes or build them.I'm wondering if people involved are just washing their hands if my deal rather than grow from it.Emails from before closing were insane looking back on it. 

So we would need to know details about the site, and details about you, to lend any direction.
