So wanted to ask:1) Anyone else had any similar challenges and if there's any good tips on finding off-market deals and contractors?

@Zeke Sanchez another great tip with VA loans, is that VA will only let you have one VA loan at a time.

One of our STR investments is in Sevierville where unfortunately no cable internet seems available (Comcast/Spectrum, etc.).

Here's just one example: https://www.courts.ca.gov/docu...I'm no expert, but it appears your tenant can request a "pre-inspection" up to two weeks prior to departure to get an idea of what they can expect and for you to give them cleaning tips.

I'm not sure whether this is commonly known so here goes.I find that a lot of the rent estimators like Rentometer can be highly inaccurate. But at the same time there aren't many active comparable rental...

I have been building rapport with this individual for years and have finally been given this bone, any tips are greatly appreciated.

I checked on Better.com and don’t qualify even above $200k yet.Anyone have ideas or tips on what I can do to boost my credit history in order to qualify for larger loans?

Any tips on figuring this out?
