I set up a landing page and paid about $50 in google ads and the phone rang. 

Please send me a DM and we can set up time to connect.

You'll have to apply for it just like you would for a home mortgage, and some lenders even pay your setup costs.

I've had banks just do a drive-by appraisal when I set up a line of credit on a duplex I remodeled.   

After creating LLC, I will get EIN, set up bank account.

I am at ground zero, but want to know the best way to set up/build with the best foundation possible to take advantage of any tax incentives possible. 

What I meant is you can bid like an owner, not an investor, when you are clustering if that high price might help you on other in the same area with the same setup.

I am a local Real Estate Agent/Investor so I will set up a showing for us at the property (when in the area) so we can see it firsthand to come up with the most accurate numbers.

Out of state is the perfect setup.

We choose this particular one because the neighborhood is perfectly set up for it & already had existing STR's in it, the layout & size were ideal & the private pool is not just out your living room door but is actually private as no one is behind us & the sides are walled off which we thought the additional privacy would make it more attractive.
