The biggest challenge I can see for this is that I hear it's a pain in the *** for the seller to go through a local community bank and confirm their income for their approval for a mortgage, and there are local/community banks that will approve 95-100% LTV loans based on how profitable the deal is.

What kind of lawyer do I need to help me get started in a STR business?

What was your experience with this?

My father even brought me along to ask for private money lending at peoples homes. 005 bought my first home in Louisiana, turned into a rental and moved to Fort Worth Texas and bought my first brand new duplex in 2008.Educated myself and bought real estate investment courses and settled on Armando Montelongo‘s flip this house completed that course and bought my first 2 fix and flip in 2009 sold one in 2009I did not farewell during the housing market crash, simultaneously lost my job due to the Event Horizon oilfield disaster.My lovely wife and I now purchase real estate in San Jose Del Cabo Mexico with our cash and build with our money as well.

If this is the wrong approach please let me know what you think is the right one. 

Yes, this!!!

How does one manage this work/life balance?

I will probably be doing 2 more STR's this year.

Looking forward to learning alongside you all and doing what I can to help you as well.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
