I've been interested in purchasing an investment property for several years, and honestly, pitching a STR unit on or near a lake was a much easier sell to my wife than a traditional rental.

@Reitta Seidel, yes.Maybe sharing some of your thoughts that made you post this question will yield more valuable feedback.In my market, single family homes sell all year round.  

The bank turns around and sells the property to a 3rd party for a lesser amount.  

Any investor friendly realtors and property managers would you recommend for that area?

The current owners do not have a mortgage, and would sell it to me direct.Since the don't need the cash, I'm going to offer $50k down at a 3% interest at a 30yr rate, but buy them out and remortgage it with the bank at year 5.No money needs to go into it, i have a $100/mon HOA, ~$800/mon escrow.

I am looking to sell some or all of my properties.

I've been under contract on my property since June 25th, and underwriting received all of their info on July 1st.

I need help with how to send out offers for wholesale deals, how to evaluate the property before making an offer, and how to calculate the numbers.

I'm looking for a property management system for 10 units and growing.

They are almost always guaranteed to overpay for properties and lose money in the end.
