The builder I had lined up came down with COVID and doesn't think he'll be close to 100% any time soon.

The market has been red hot since I have moved here with little chance of things slowing down any time soon. 

Feel free to reach out anytime! 

Best practice ANYTIME you're dealing with a company like that or other wholesalers is to verify all of their numbers.

And everything is expensive so what's the point in selling unless you are going to leave the state.As far as investments, if there was an "appreciation forgiveness" tax break for SFH's I bet you would see a lot more investors selling right now.

@Jerry Hodges Your best bet will be a short term hard money loan,your newly formed LLC will have no income or credit history.Get the HML fix the property rent and refinance it to a longer term.You will still personally have to qualify for everything.Best of Luck!

I'm in the final stages of selecting a Property Manager and they have several "Performance Guarantee" that they sent me in a pamphlet (things like "We only get paid when a tenant pays", "If the tenant we place in the property gets evicted within the first 12 months, we will refund the leasing fee", and "If you are not happy with our service, you can cancel anytime with a 60-day notice"). 

I would say your best bet is off-market.

Make sure you are comfortable paying the mortgage and utilities for 2-3 months at any time just in case.

@Ari Hadar With being out of the country, your best bet is finding an investor to partner with.
