One thing I learned the hard way was that location matters and local laws matter.

So most of them aren't concerned with cash flow and are frankly lucky to break even on these local programs. 

I am a local broker and vacation rental manager here on the Island. 16 years here on the Island only.

You’ll need to run a 240v line up there, I dunno if that’s a $2k problem or an $8k problem, talk to a local electrician.

If you simply want to "get involved in it" I would suggest seeking out local, licensed property managers who are hiring.

You can't look at a national market, when all sales are controlled locally.

@Wei Jie Yang,Check with a local credit union.MIke

It’s just a site where wholesalers post their “deals” that they can’t sell to locals.

In my local MLS, it may not be true in your area, there is a field that a listing agent can fill out to designate the home they are selling has a FHA, VA or USDA loan which by default would make it assumable.You can also reach out to your favorite local title company and ask if they can provide you with a search tool like TitlePro247 or provide you with a list of current on the market homes with a FHA, VA or USDA loan in place. 

I'm always sharing and posting local meetups :)
