I have considered reaching out to pre-foreclosures in a similar manner. 

Many just rent part time to cover their costs. 

Some of them can pre qualify you without credit pull and they do a desk top appraisal. 

BTW, price is definitely a factor.Traffic Master covers 24sqft per case for $42.95Duralux covers 21.41sqft for 33.83Lifeproof covers 20.06 sqft for $55.76

This approach can sometimes help in reinforcing the original verbal agreement and moving towards a formal purchase agreement.Financing Options for Pre-Revenue Phase: Securing financing for a property intended to house a new business can be particularly tricky, especially when you anticipate a delay in generating revenue due to renovations and permitting.

Rental revenue and second home is covered, but doesn’t say short term explicitly

The property is investment property and already has an existing home on it.

See why I tell you,  "there doesn't exist a system that can find you motivated sellers...

If you definitely wanted to be in Manhattan, then condos are the way to go - however they're generally more expensive than coops.One thing I've noticed with existing and past clients is that apartments in NYC don't tend to appreciate too strongly, unless you're buying something with 2+ bedrooms.

Finding a property that already has an existing repeat guest list is a great way to start out, and these homes can often be purchased turnkey during the right time of year.
