I use Smart Move and have had great success with them 

I know I'm not super active posting but I do read the forums quite a bit and have listened to maybe about 1/3 the podcasts now, but I can first off say that having a place like this has really helped me a lot in guiding me to the right decisions that has made my first attempt a success!

None of our licensing training covers how rental income works in the mortgage math, and you can go a successful 20 year career without ever learning it.Go to your local REIA, ask who is doing loans for those folks.

. $405,750 is going to be a conventional loan, but $408,237 is going to be FHA/VA.Both statements will hold true about 99 times out of 100.I haven't read/heard of a lot of people being successful with this strategy (or completing an assumption at all, really), so if you are successful please post back with your experiences!

@Todd Snyder Welcome and much success to you and your wife!

I have 4 deals under my belt (with a varying range of success) and have learned lessons from each.I’ve spent the last few years building my family and career and would now like to devote my energy into something that can finance my lifestyle without having to continue working for The Man.  

Patience and consistency are my theories of success right now.

Anecdotally, I've heard that local Facebook marketplace groups are an increasingly successful channel.

I'm a big fan of the booking sites, and we've been incredibly successful with our homes which are listed on multiple sites but 90% of the bookings come from Airbnb. 

Many of the most successful spirit-salespeople have used this method as it works well when done right.Get some funky looking person, even a starving actor for $50 and free food at the event, to be the 'property manager' and say strange, funny phrases to the reporters.
