I usually avoid such youtubers but I am also seeing there are lot of houses sitting in the market for a very long time and the builders inventory is also rising and at some point, they will have reduce the pricess massively. .

I am looking for refinance short term rental.

The rest will be leased.How do I determine and analyze a potential location for this development in terms of potential lease rates, vacancy rates, potential area growth, post construction value, etc?

Personal readiness includes long-term plans, maturity, and market conditions.

Im a former Marine and long time business owner but new to real estate investing.

Most are looking for contracts to use/the best contract terms to include and also identifying investor-friendly title companies in the areas they are trying to work. 

Are these loan terms competitive?

All good markets to get started in as long as you have a good team in place.

My question is would you guys rather sell stocks and take a long term cap gains at 15% tax rate, or take a loan and keep the stocks growing.

Sometimes its nurses but it casts a wide net so you get all types of people who might need a mid term rental.
