These things all said, when we were in the beginning stages of building my portfolio we bought anything that met our criteria. 

Is this accurate, as I have not encountered anything concerning 12 month seasoning periods, especially for cash purchases.This really hurts my turn-around and portfolio building timeframe if this has become standard (which I have not heard of a 12 month seasoning period during any research nor listening to any podcasts).Thanks!

I need to build more cash.

Secure W2 employment, tackle side gigs, save religiously, build your credit, and house hack your first deal utilizing an owner-occupied investment loan.

It will work for me not just for buy and rentals but for anything I decide to do such as building a ground-up spec home or buying a non-performing note or doing some lending.

i don't have an answer for you but just wanted to say to check with the building/zoning/permitting dept to even ensure you can convert this property to a legal 2-family!

Real estate is a great wealth building tool in the long term and a passion for us.

Hi Everyone,I'm playing with the idea of building a Shipping Container Home around Asheville, NC.The plan is to either hold it as an STR, or to sell it.The question I have is regarding Mortgages:* If I hold the property for STR, I will want to be able to Re-finance my money back out (BRRR Method)* If I sell it, I will want to make sure a buyer will be able to take out a mortgage for purchase. 

I'd recommend not trying to find land buyers and work on building relationships with developers and understanding their buy box in your market. most markets have 20 developers or less if you are in a Tier 2 city which I'm guessing you are. no market in Denver is tier 1 

You will come across people who buy distressed property in the the roughest neighborhoods and and build portfolios, those who focus on small multifamily, large multifamily, some who buy turn key rentals or even new construction -- it ALL can work.
