Hi Robin,Thank you for your post as this is directly applicable to my situation.

I have a potential lead on a property in LA.

@Eric Tullius  What benefit would @Mel Park receive by going under contract with a wholesaler as opposed to entering into a contract directly with the end buyer either through the MLS or other means where Mel has far greater control over the transaction?

I know that it’s not easy to search so feel free to contact me directly if I can help.

Can you give me direction of what makes most sense given my long term plans?

I have just passed my first year as a self-employed and looking to get my second property.

Who is self-managing their rental properties?

I’m looking for a market to invest In long term rental properties and my target is cash flow, what markets should I look into just to get me in the right direction?

We even tried FEMA but no luck.We have a litigation attorney we are retaining who deals directly with tenant/landlord issues.

@Joshua MerchantDid you get these STR guests through direct booking?
