Here are a few things to consider..Work for an Established Wholesaler:Consider finding a reputable wholesaler in your local market and offering to work for them.

I would highly suggest getting into a market you at least somewhat know, are comfortable with, and/or have some sort of tie to. 

Two of the homes are over 25yrs old, and offer the upside potential to renovate and increase rents to market once the current tenants move.Question to this community is, are there any recommendations for lenders in this deal size and in this area?

@Sean McKee we have just under 100 units in Berwyn. the answer to your question will depend mostly on the quality of the unit.

We offered people in this area a place to stay that is enjoyable for the whole family What was the outcome?

REITs offer a way to diversify your real estate investments without directly owning physical properties.Real Estate Crowdfunding:Invest in real estate crowdfunding platforms that pool funds from multiple investors to finance real estate projects.

Total rents at 100% occupancy across the three are $2900 monthly.I'm thinking because the financing terms are soooo attractive that it may be worth the higher risk that comes with the high PITI?

Also contact your insurer and see if they offer a STR policy.

That could be as high as $14K to $15K not to mention Title fee's, origination fee's and days of interest another $7K to $8K.If you choose a lender or broker and they hit you with lender/broker fee's/points that’s another added cost.My best advice as a Banker is reach out now get a Pre-approval letter up front and give the Bank an idea of what neighborhood or a "mock" address and you can get an actual quote up front to avoid surprises.

I think the #1 most ridiculous poster is the person living in a desirable, high-appreciation location who has plenty of capital to deploy who asks which crappy undesirable market thousands of miles from where they live is the best place to buy their first investment property.
