Lender rules are tightening, Fannie Mae just got rid of Vacation home loans that investors were using to get into STR for CHEAP and interest rates are going up. Right

Just getting the loan is my mental hold up right now.

Chat them up.  Rightfully

In theory it would be super nice to have a PM and contractor lined up right away before you even start making offers, but they're all so busy they can't deal with "what-ifs".

. - All about the follow up right? 

I will look that up right now.

And I'd say don't think for a second you'd even need to spend that much time per week on your properties if you set it up right.

However, I have closed a number of houses where after the initial title check something popped up right at closing from different resources.

Hi @Tom Camarda,To put it mildly, I'm pretty sure my entire freaking universe would be blowing up right about now, if Freddie Mac suddenly stopped doing loans for investment properties.So far, radar does not detect any universes exploding.

It reminds me of a hot stock I bought once that had great potential but kept dropping and dropping and dropping so I doubled down every time because it HAD to eventually go up, right?
