https://www.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/news/2019/08/05/nm-city-ranked-one-of-the-best-places-to-flip.htmlI've always got my eye on the next deal of which there are more than I can handle on my own. 

I recently purchased my own primary home and I have been prospecting to get my own fix and flip deal.

It's a good idea to talk to a lender to ensure you meet all the requirements and get the best deal, so if you want to discuss please feel free to reach out to me directly!

Well said, are you sure you're not a politician LOL , I was going to be a bit more direct, like HEY DO YOUR HOMEWORK, :) 

All this summer every booking has been last minute, within a week or so of the stay, so it's obvious to me people are still just sitting on the sidelines looking for the best deals since there's so much supply out there.I think it will start thinning out over the next few years - I've seen a few places in my own community that I know were STRs that have been sold as owner-occupied (hard to make a 4/3 STR work down here when you're paying $450k or more), so as that starts to happen more and the building pushes even further out into the hinterlands I have hope for the future.

Ask the manager to explain their process for dealing with maintenance, late rent, evictions, turnover, etc.

and can you recommend any agents who might have a decent flow of wholesale deals?

The best advice I can give, is create a bulletproof contract for yourself via a good lawyer if possible.Sounds like a viable deal if done correctly, but far less headache if they can just qualify on a conventional loan.

I have been working with him to find deals, and manage rentals for a while now.

So, they can call and deal with the lender/loan servicer directly, make payments, etc.
