It also would help by brokers pricing with multiple lenders - rather than you pricing one at a time.

My son will be helping us with marketing, advertising (if needed), press coverage (if needed) and finding investors / lenders (if needed).

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Sports seasons and university events can drive STR bookings, while MTRs help cover the slower times.

There can be many reasons for failure, and there can be many situations where investors perceive that a failure has occurred when there has not been a failure.I wrote an article for the BiggerPockets blog last week that talked about failures in the context of syndication sponsors that have turned non-responsive...perhaps that's a help. 

Thanks Hi Erik,There are several private lending products available that can help with thepurchase of vacant land, depending on your situation.

Hello Ilya,Where are you looking at purchasing your 1st property.When converting a property from a single family to a multi family, you will need to check on the zoning requirements, depending on your location, not every location has zoning.As far as lending goes, it is far easier to finance a single family up to a quadplex, than financing 5 plus units, the DSCR Market for 5+ units is extremely low right now, and there are few if any lenders in that space.For financing 1-4 units, there are Millions of dollars chasing those loans, so you can easily obtain long term financing, at rates between 5-7%.Please reach out if you have a property identified, and I can help you with financing options.
