Sometimes mail, calls, and texts can be a little too personal for someone to become a lead from because they feel like its not so much their choice.

That will influence your choice.

@Andrew Scherz First off, I love the dog choice - I've always wanted an Australian Shepherd!

Technically in my situation had my tenant indicated to me on April 30 I would have had a tenant of my choice starting from June 1st without going through the hassle of vetting tenants during this pandemic situation. month to month lease previously reached

It seems VRBO is pain as well, so what is the choice now?

My choices are to either roll it all back into my 401k and wind up the c-corp, or invest the funds into real estate (short or long term rentals or maybe crowdfunding some other type of asset class), roll the dice with another online venture (which is my wheelhouse but after losing a bunch of money this last time Im hesitant), or something else like stocks or bonds.

My mission is to develop Long Term, mutually beneficial Relationships with Equity Investors by Creating a Lucrative, Predictable and risk managed Income Stream for us both.

Most new build spec builds here target the high end so I believe targeting the under $600k price range could be very beneficial. 

The last thing I want to do is piss someone off who is trying to help me so knowing what not to do would be really beneficial.

If you have reserves and a 15% down payment both the Fannie Mae HomeStyle and Freddie Max Choice Renovations loans are available.
