Another angle, be prepared to show you will not utilize the property, even for storing your stuff or as a second home, buying in the name of a business entity will help.

Make it credible, work on SEO and while you organically rank that site you do paid marketing like facebook ads or PPC.This you need to do without question.I did this almost 5 years ago and now I am buying houses for  10% ARV and all leads come in on autopilot, automatic 100% free and extremely motivated.Actually, just yesterday I told a motivated seller to go climb a tree and kiss my ***, because he felt like he had the right to be rude.
