Next, analyze a bunch of deals in your target areas to see if the numbers meet your criteria.

Located out of Louisiana targeting the Northshore (between Baton Rouge and Mandeville) which is north of New Orleans.

My primary target markets fall into three categories: families looking to get into the school district, divorced/separated, and families transitioning from selling their home but needing to wait to move-in to their "being built" home. 

I would really appreciate if fellow investors that are operating STR's/vacation rentals  can help with information on what kind of returns (%) I should be looking for, what markets should I be targeting that have a growth potential and easy to deal with restrictions if any.

Hi Ryan, i have client target the film industry people here in Atlanta.

I would also suggest you talk about/mention the geography you are targeting with your investing (i.e.

An EIN is good for disregarded entities as you don't have to give out your social security number.The title company likely is asking for a W-9 form instead of a 1099.The W-9 form will mention items like your name/business name, EIN/SSN, entity status, etcYou would then be issued a 1099 by the title company by the end of the year.The next step is reporting the wholesale income on your 2021 return.

I check social media profiles.

Focus on a target market, neighborhood not city, and start driving around, writing down addresses, calling owners, mailing owners.
