W2 jobs make it much easier for financing, otherwise you’ll need to wait a couple years most likely.I was in your shoes a few short years ago and bought my first rental a year out of college.

I have discovered they generally don't have bank accounts due to past questionable behaviour.  

particular for short-term rental.

If you have your personal goals for REI laid out, be ready with a short "elevator" pitch to let folks know what you are looking to do, but I would just listen more than anything for now.

When I book short term rentals online the first and most influential thing is the photos. 

I think I am leaning towards an interest in Certified General Appraisal but I will probably have to look into Certified Residential Appraising if I can't find someone to work with in the first few months.I have discovered my interest in Real Estate investing (thus my membership on BP) and this led me to get into the business of Real Estate in the form of Appraising.

Building now will raise the value of my house--I may not be able to refinance it on a fixed income in a few, short years.

I'm an agent, I do some work with investors in the Short Term Rental market, my boyfriend has an Airbnb that we have professionally managed, and I have a decent working knowledge of the local (ever changing) rules.  

Its in a town we have a restaurant in i do mainly restaurant business, and have 1 sfr ( manage 3 srf including my own) at the moment but just recently discovered this lot off market someone trying to get rid of it yes new construction is possible yes i know contractors that will jump on it right awayJust mainly want to hear if bulding a brand new 4plex i can rent out to out of town workers on a month to month basis is worth while at a cost of 275k for 200-250 cashflow a door a month at a 15 year loan is worth it?
