Finding the right property (or even a GP) can be a real grind.

Find a local lender, you can start with where you have your money and then branch out, and confirm what you will need to qualify as @Nathan Gesner said above.

One recommendation is find a good property manager, he will be an important key player

And I presume that you can find good podcasts, YouTube channels, etc. - for as narrow or as wide of a net you may want to throw out for your own “real estate investing.”But if you should still have an inclination to trust some guru with a paid mentorship, I’d suggest to go above and beyond their standard contract, which will likely stipulate what you owe them in far better terms for themselves than what they owe you in return for your money: I’d ask them to stipulate - in writing - what “mentorship” your money (at each level of a “workshop”/“education” they expect you to pay for) will actually get you, and for how long.

Hi Beth, Your best bet is finding a DSCR based lender that has looser guidelines on STRs.

I have a big plot of land I want to sell in Mixtlan that I inheritated and I need to find out how much it is worth.

This is a high risk investment for anyone to consider and your best bet is to find a long-term job and qualify on your own.1) Two people applying for a mortgage will go against both applicant's DTI in full.2) What if there is no cash-flow and no equity/ appreciation.What can force you to sell the property keeping her in a bad investment3) What is the market turns and you are not able to refinance the property?

I find myself in a similar boat now.

A good mentor should want to share their learnings (versus sell them) - if you can find this, it could be your fastest way toward enhancing yourself.I don’t want to give particular input on your financial piece.

There are lots of options to meet, I think it all comes down to how many people are planning on showing up. if we have 20 people coming then we may want to find a better place than Timmys or Starbucks but that's just my impressions.
