Here are a few thoughts I have:Market Research: I’m willing to dedicate time to researching potential properties and analyzing market trends to help identify lucrative deals.Networking: I aim to build relationships within the local real estate community, which could open doors to new opportunities for us all.Project Management: My military experience has equipped me with strong organizational and logistical skills that could help streamline processes and improve communication.I would love to hear from seasoned investors about their thoughts on partnering with someone who may not have a financial contribution upfront.

It's busy season right now in the Smokies - your losses will be significantly higher when the beginning of next year rolls around. 

And one of the things I've been told is that there is no seasoning for refinancing which contradicts what you said about the two year period.

Keep an eye on the trends in FL at this moment as well, especially in hurricane season, with home insurance.

Lastly, every sheriff's auction has the same ten players.

The rates and terms are usually more favorable than DSCR loans, so I’d lean toward conventional financing while you can still qualify.BRRRR Method: The BRRRR strategy can be powerful, but it might slow you down a bit due to the current cash-out refinance seasoning periods, which can be as long as 12 months.

With that said, 3 of the 4 listing's are for $1200 a month.It's definitely the off season for Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair, so reaching out to these listings through FF and seeing if they can match your son's budget is worth a try.Best of luck!

There is no seasoning requirement to refinance a conventional loan.

I have a lender I have done a few deals with that has a no seasoning 80/20 DSCR cash out refi. 30 yr am. 

I assume you disagree, as well.I do plan a long post going down this rabbit hole, but it will take a few days, as my own tax season is not over.
