Ok your responses are from lenders that want to make money lending HM.HM is basically not appropriate for any kind of longer term hold  ONLY fix and flip and only if you really know what your doing.I would be very cautious borrowing money..better set up for you and safety is going to be a JV deal.. where the PL is your equity partner and is in it long term with you if its rentals you want to start to acquire.

@Russ Mooneyhan, to answer your question, and summarize a lot of the responses below: No, there is no specific tactic that people use.  

I've heard my colleagues mention wholesaling as a good way to build up capital fast, and I'm curious what you all have to say about it, any tips, advice, admonishments?

I would be willing to make a co-hosting deal if someone has contacts in the region, as my responsibilities in Maine require me to be here more regularly.

He would likely be able to discuss your situation and explore all possible options, ensuring you make an informed decision that aligns with your financial goals and needs.I can provide his contact information if you want.

I compared notes with an AZ investor with my Indy properties and his AZ house.

However, more important is to TEACH them the nuances of credit so that you can enable them to become responsible credit users.I hope this helps and good luck!

Your boss might be able to help with the contacts of his team members, and maybe they might be of help to you in the future.

His mother manages our Tulsa rentals :) He has one other Tulsa property, that he has had since before we met.

Thank you for your very detailed response!
