Our medium-term goal is to purchase with the proceeds either 1 or 2 condos in Myrtle Beach, SC for short-term rentals or a larger mutli-family apt building in more or less the same area (not really dead set on the location) for more longer-term rentals.

Up in Saskatchewan, grainland sells for a larger premium above pasture/cattle land.

If you can’t see those kind of posts, look for larger wholesaler companies.

Once I hit my loan paydown criteria, I will do a 1031 and scale up to a duplex or larger single-family home.

Hi @David Ward, this is a great question since so many people are looking at either SFRs in the burbs or larger 40+ unit rental buildings. 

How does one with no RE experience find a real estate investor to offer a bird dog services in hopes of mentorship in return?

I wanted something slightly larger but the market area has little available.

It was really fun to see the changes come along on the larger house.

Last summer 2019 I sold my business with the intention of using the proceeds as a downpayment to buy a much larger cashflowing business, utilizing the SBA 7a program. 

This is usually split using square feet so the unit with more square fee pays a larger portion of the bill.
