Other ways from what I can see is you want to target FSBO, rentals, and maybe expired listings and propose a subject to, lease to own, or other creative method. 

This can be an easy way to gain access to liquidity for the average person.

Time is running out on my contract to purchase, and am surprised it hasn't already expired. 

@David E Fitzgerald IVThanks for posting this.

It is pretty rare that a person looking to start has $300k kicking around in liquid capital.

You need to invest it today in something with a fair amount of liquidity and relative low volatility to keep it earning for you, until you have enough to buy the next property.

The reason being you could use your 121 exclusion before it expires (2 occupied of last 5 years owned).

I do know that as the Lease gets closer to its expiration, then the value of it (the lease) drops significantly.

I sent a letter letting them know how I would collect money and told them I had a copy of their leases and we would go with them until it expired.

@Vance Payne - this book is very helpful - https://www.amazon.com/Every-L...AirBnb income is different than rental property income and it will be reported on a Schedule C and not a Schedule E.
