@Jordyn Ohs Suggest you run a financial model and assume 100% vacancy.

Your debt is easily found, I suggest you disclose the loan. :)

For example, population growth in certain neighborhoods and increased investor activity have created opportunities for both long-term rentals and value-add deals.If you’re torn between wholesaling and holding long-term rentals, I’d suggest thinking about your long-term goals.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

As a real estate broker I would make the same suggestion but as a buyer I feel so lost..
