@Dulce DavisSome private firms would consider blankets but they are gonna cost 2x traditional financingI would take the one with no mortgage and leverage that to buy another and keep doing that - also once in a while may consider selling some inventory to get more cash

You should consider learning about house hacking, BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) and group home investing, I feel.

I'm also looking heavily into Laporte, I feel buy and holds in Duneland and rehabs in Laporte are my focus right now.

Hi, I'm interested in buying properties outside of my area (South Florida). 

I am debating if I should buy a decently priced home in Florida using a mortgage, rent it out as soon as possible, and have a tenant(s) pay down my mortgage until I am ready to move in and have the mortgage either paid down or nearly paid down.

Mainly looking to add to rentals and wholesale ones that don't fit buy box. 

Not quite on the level of SBF or Madoff buy up there for our industry. 

@Bridget McGingAt some point, you have to just do it and buy the first STR and learn as you go.
