Do yourself a favor and explore the listing services that will get you on the mls. 

Hi All,I have been exploring for the past couple months and recently came across some first time home buyer programs that I think I need to take advantage of.

I was reading an article that stated:“An appraiser can create a rented income schedule to show what the property will typically rent for,” Dalzell says.

If you are trying to buy a place that will require work to be 'move-in ready' then you will need to explore some of the renovation loan options like FHA 203k and Freddie Choicerenovation. 

Be specific.Here is an article that may help you out a bit: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Everyone always talks about getting a HELOC to fund an investment property, but I read an article that said that it makes more sense for homeowners who want to tap their equity to do a cash-out refinance because of how low rates are.

I found some articles on here from investors who have bought from from Roofstock but couldn't find anything from the other side.. 

Many friends and residents in the community depend on that STR income to make ends meet (as friend and resident Lisa Presnell stated in the article).

., trying to explore what our next step is going to be.
