We are putting everything we have into trying to get the best financing terms possible.Okay, we already talked about Loan-to-value (LTV), which is a way for lenders to figure out how risky a loan is.

We listed on Apartments.com for their management tools (saw it recommended in a thread on here).

So, talk to your realtor and make an estoppel certificate part of the due diligence that must be provided by the seller in the sales contract.

@Joe Villeneuve, they weren't talking to me, but I thought I'd ask about it b/c I'd never heard that said before.

The only drawback I found so far is that many of the numbers are on the do not call list, but that's not a problem with the platform.

If you're talking 20 acres, just the outside will run you a lot.Driveways, entrances and parking- $2mm.Turn signals?

Already talked to the Warren County office and they said it's a 3 month process to get STRs approved but in general the process seems to be pretty straight forward if you aren't in a HOA or in town.I have a property in the area that is a smaller 2bed/1bath that does really well and I feel very comfotable with the 3 bed numbers, but once we get to the higher range properties 3-4 bedrooms and properties that I would consider to be luxury stays for large groups, I am finding it hard to make the numbers reallyyyy make sense at a $300 ADR.

I text blasted a list of sellers using REI Reply.

Anomalies are put on watch lists and reviewed for valuation. 

I personally like Zillow for screening and listing my units then once I have a signed lease, I move them over to Avail which is much more robust for managing tenants (if you're self-managing which I recommend starting out).
