I look forward to reading all of the productive and helpful posts you and others have posted as I believe in becoming the best investor and property owner possible.

I'm from Dominican Republic, no product like that out there. the best option is to buy with the proceeds from the states. 

Also, since you like Sherwin products, their Superpaint works pretty well for this type of application.

One theory is that the investors see population increasing in these areas and are willing to deal with the ridiculous local laws This actually isn’t even necessary true, the placest with the biggest per capita housing production or “investment” is in the sunbelt, the expensive cities produce a shockingly low amount of housing, obviously zoning laws play a huge role in that as well, but even when you looking up institutional investment in existing properties it’s mostly in the sunbelt, most people who own big buildings in hcol areas just bought them decades ago when they were much cheaper, even D.C. has has like a 4-5 fold increase in value in some areas in the last 15 or so years.

Like everyone said.Grab up @Avery Carl's first book - https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/short-term-rental-l...Then grab her next book which is available for pre-order - https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/smarter-short-term-...Seeing as you are new the STR business, these are great books to grab up and read.

Buying distressed & fixing yourself gives you the full intel on the quality of your product, buying 2 rather than 4 you can pay for better locations, then having reserves gives you a healthy peace of mind.

I am a successful real estate investor who recently acquired his real estate licence to help people achieve the same kind of success and I thought what better way then to write down everything I know into a short compact book full of important information.

If you find a lender/mortgage broker that communicates very well and in a very time efficient manner start there to see if they have a product that works.Most of the lenders we have worked with in the past we have done multiple loans with.

The goal is sell a product, a venue, a strategy, and everything in between with some responsibility.

Looks like you have a solid plan, compound interest will take care of the rest.Can i ask what mortgage product you intend on going with?
