For your second question, do you have experience subdividing acreage?

s from thr prior week.. if this happened from almost doing the transaction for ten grand then either I got a pass somehow or the whole thing IS public knowledge and not worth anything other than  learning stuff in thr group and lives that you can  learn in other groups and similar live experiences..with a new car in your pocket to drive you around to meet up! 

I look forward to connecting with all of you, sharing experiences, and hopefully, one day soon, sharing my first successful real estate investment story.Jhonny S,

The more skill and experience acquiring and managing properties you have the easier and more lucrative this strategy can be, and perhaps how you're seeing examples of people scaling quickly.I also don't see people have much luck asking for someone to mentor them in the forums.

Plenty of appraisers have little to no experience in STRs as this asset class (if one wants to even call it that) is relatively new in the REI space, and thus, the method suggested above is probably not that likely to succeed. 

Would love to hear experiences/guidance from SMEs here.Thank you

Any experience?

Although you don't have a lot of experience, you could look for a fix and flip or BRRRR investor, partner with them on a purchase and split the profits. 

In my experience, they may give you a price upfront, but they don't expect payment until they are done. 

I use verified lending companies not banks for these loans and my clients have had great experiences.
