It was intended as a fix and flip, and our original exit strategy was reached. we bought with hard money then did a refi to convential because repairs became drawn out and rented for some cf to by is time. we ended up selling for 405,000 and our loan balance was 235,000.

Our main concern at the time was a solid accounting platform, which they do.They are easy to build around and integrate your team, a solid owners portal, but I am unsure about AI at this time. 

What @Tim Baldwin said.Otherwise, spend some time figuring out how to edit your existing lease to make it MTM.FYI - our company lease is setup to be ANY lease length by just modifying the lease term.

But if you want to go faster, there are two things that will help by getting your foot in the door with house hacking.First, is over time you'll build equity and can eventually refinance and take that cash to use as down payments.Second, if you want to use private lenders, virtually all of them other than family and close friends will want to see a track record.

Now that I have more time on my hands and some additional disposable income, I am looking to jump back into learning about real estate!

Last time was the tux at my wadding!

I have a half dozen years of experience renting out a few single family homes and am looking to bet big in a different market.

My wife and I have never put more than 10% down on a house hack,  most of the time it is 5%.   

Anything else beyond that is likely going to take a good chunk of time and investment to get up and running. 

Owner having a hard time selling, we wouldn't mind owning, esp for Short term rental purposes.Owner owes $249k.We would like to use very little cash, maybe higher interest rate for the seller, balloon in 5 years should interest rates come down.Anyone had success or any ideas you could share?
