I'm finally about to get started and decided to go the "build to rent" route.

I own 2 small LTRs and want to wholesale to earn some capital so I can start flipping and STRs. 

Once you have that you can go to any bank and open a bank account in the name of ABC Management.Your plan is exactly what I did when starting as I too was looking to avoid an LLC right off the bat.

Although 5k is a great start, the Airbnb market is very competitive and you will need more set aside in order to properly acquire an investment property.

I started with an afternoon every other week, which was changed to an afternoon every week.So I put issues into 3 buckets: emergency (a pipe is leaking), within 24 hours (toilet running), and non-pressing (a door is not closing on its own), which is where most things landed and are handled that way.

My target purchase price is under $1.7M and prefer cosmetic fix to start with.

We need to drastically cut rates to entice buyers, it's the start of the fall.

The 1st month rent needs to then be paid 72 hours prior to lease start date.

@Manuel A Zuaznabarcan you start with a house hack

Then you can start dabbling into buying rentals or flips.
