One of my biggest pet peeves with AirBnB and VRBO is having to click through dozens of ads to try to figure out what they are actually charging.I shouldn't need a spreadsheet to try to figure out the prices.

Several things to contribute here: 1) Private Lenders with no credit experience emerge doing down payment and 100%/High LTV financing at the end of every cycle, 2) they're among the first to loose their shirts in every downturn, 3) although someone termed this type of lending "gator", it's not new, 4) the guy that coined it didn't get into real estate untill well after the last crash, 5) he has no real credit background or experience (he's never been a lender), 6) Google the guy's name and "looses professional license in AZ" to see what pops up, and finally 7) he's really effective at telling people what they want to hear, filling their heads full of hopes and dreams, getting them to buy his training, and his minios generally won't want to hear what a real, seasoned lending vet will try to tell them.

Thank you,I'm new to this type of investing (more familiar with buying businesses) so I'm cobbling together information from brokers, chatGPT and everything in between to figure out what I need to (at reasonable cost while controlling risk profile) complete an acquisition.Facility is in rural Kansas, and is composed of a portfolio of 4 buildings on 3 parcels. 195 unit count - ~10 years old on average, some are newer (2 years) others older (15+ years)I'm trying to learn what I should watch out for in the process and what studies will be needed to get a good level of comfort before acquiring the facilities

Another option might be to try to locate a local real estate agent that is investor friendly. 

As a host, I try and be as accommodating to the owners I stay with.

I am trying to find a wholesale contract/agreement from a professional real estate attorney, but having a hard time finding them.

So, should I try to house hack in/around Nashville- or move to a different market where I would be able to move quicker or have better opportunities.

But what about for the older people that most certainly are not going to respond to you trying to get them scan you QR code. or a stranger at the super market, when you don’t want to be too pushy.

You could also add landscape ties along the bottom, should they try to dig under it. 

For my purposes, I am not trying to purchase all the properties.
