Buy wisely and watch the budget and you should have instant equity. 

Things like valet trash, cable contract reimbursements, RUBs, common area expense budgeting, proper staffing levels, AI revenue management, PPMs, subscription agreements, blue sky filings, commercial lending standards, commercial building codes and permitting, ADA compliance, etc.  

I'm definitely listening to as many podcasts, watching BP youtube videos, searching the forums for specific topics and of course connecting with those who are already in the game. 

I don't know how crazy this sounds but my budget for a single family home in this area is 750k.

.$308k purchase, ideally 15% down, with rehab budget of $112k (ARLTV at 75%).This way you put $46,200 down plus closing costs on the HML.Then you're DSCR RT refinancing at 74% LTV (better pricing, and gives you the extra cash to work on the rehab, just not financed through the HML).Thoughts?

Wondering if anyone in the south Florida real estate game has any suggestions on specific banks that may be more apt to work with me in achieving this.

Are there specific strategies or platforms for connecting with potential development partners open to joint ventures or revenue-sharing models?

Specifically, I'm looking for neighborhoods with a good amount of distressed 3+ bedroom townhomes for sale for $120k or less that require a moderate amount of renovation (no gut jobs or major structural issues) and that will get me a rent-to-price ratio of 1% or higher on the final ARV.Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas/suggestions!

@Jacob StraussenTerm is essentially a commodity biggest difference you will see is if you want to have options to convert to perm that's when you would want to do more research and really get carrier specific.  

No real challenges, but I'm glad I left a lot of miscellaneous rehab costs in the budget.
