If you are looking at properties to BRRRR, I would recommend starting out with a cheaper single family home that could use some mild renovation to add some value and make it livable.Below are two example quotes for some loans I have started recently with lower-valued properties: 1 rehab deal, 1 refinance into a 30-year fixed (post-rehab).

Following this post as I have the same issue and would like some suggestions.

Hey @Drew Gelinas - I'm not sure whether I understood your post properly, are you saying that someone reached out (who works for an insurance company) and wanted to rent out your STR for 6 months??

Either (a) you are a licensed Real Estate Broker (your post said start a biz, not working under a managing broker).

THIS is a great post because it explains how a true mentor relationship is formed.

@Richard Escano thanks for the post. 

@Basit Siddiqi  even invests in the Jacksonville area himself, or so I believe. if you have a specific question you are always welcome to post it here and see who has the best advice on or search the forum for who is answering similar questions 

I have it posted on both Furnished Finder and Airbnb.

Now Bare with me as this is my first post and ill keep it short and sweet.

I'm sure this has been asked/posted a million times, but I'm struggling to figure out the best route to begin my investing/portfolio.
