I am constantly surprised that OOS investors pick markets that are more affordable than their local market and then decide to also go to the low end of that new market, driving up the risk even further. 

When I was a handyman for an apartment complex, every time there was a turn over, the bathroom was the first thing on the list.

The rehab had been completed (04/01/2023) and will be launched as a STR property by tomorrow (04/07/2023)Investment / Holding / Exit options being considered:1: Cash-out REFI upon 1 year loan maturity and substantial bookings.2: List for sale on NC MLS at $1,100,000 and see if there is interest in the property as an operational STR property.

Only issue I’m having is there are only 2 parking spots out front.i’m looking to pick other commercial investors minds.

If you need help implementing the strategies listed in these books.

Hard money, creative financing, or traditional financing should be viewed as different tools that you can use; try not to worry too much about finding one, singular way to finance every deal.For example, if you are buying an off-market deal from a family member, you may want to see if you can use traditional financing or creative financing since there's no competition and you'll get the most attractive/flexible terms.On the other hand, if you see a newly listed deal on the MLS, you may want to look at hard money since it can fund quickly like cash.Hard money loans are more expensive so you'll want to plan your exit before you get in whether that be refinancing into a long term note or selling the property.Hope this helps!

No, you can get pre-approved fairly easily for DSCR Loans, arguably more so than conventional - will likely just have to run credit and then you can be approved subject to having the cash to do down payment and pick a property that will cash flow

Some that are going to be safer.11th Property(Beaufort, SC)List Price: $311,000Purchase Price: $292,000Financing: Cash3br/2ba, 1700 sq ft house.

In general, if it's listed by an agent/broker and you purposely go around them direct to seller, it's usually going to make the agent/broker not like you, and you kind of want them on your side if you are trying to work on the property.

The listed deals are always the hardest but if you can find a good wholesaler your set!
