I recently purchased my first property which happened to be a commercial property that has, among other things, a 2 bay automotive repair shop/inspection station.

I know alot of investors are looking at vacation markets in Kentucky to purchase STR.

I have used hard money for my last two purchases and rates are so high right now that it kills most deals.

I left the over priced birthday card I was going to buy ($8) directly underneath the sign and went to the grocery store next door and purchased a different over priced card there. 

Purchase price: $445,000 Cash invested: $22,000 Househacked and rented out all units

I've actually started examining Arkansas and Alabama because you need a strong lead generator and you have to pull trigger to purchase in hours, if not minutes.

Starting a new post that I hope would gain some traction here as I haven't seen anything posted on the topic in a while (unless I overlooked).After doing some research, it seems that purchasing a seller financed property could result in a great deal for both parties.

However I am spoiled, I only want props that will NET me 15- 25% , of course cash purchases.

However, amidst the turmoil, opportunities emerge as some investors seize the chance to purchase distressed properties at significant discounts.

You can also partner with someone with money to purchase a house, manage for someone, etc.
