I’m comparing a few markets and deal types.

Welcome, what type of investing are you looking to do?

@Maya Jones - How this can be handled depends largely on the type of property / arrangement of the units and what your lease says.

I am a 22 year old man so i’m not sure what type of effect this will have on trying to find renters.      

It definitely can get pretty complex trying to sort what qualifies for which category, especially if you have a mix of property types!

As you grow, you’ll want to understand how different types of rental properties interact with your income, especially the difference between passive and non-passive income from a tax perspective.There are also some unique tax benefits and deductions available since you’re in the military; it’s worth looking into how your service benefits and possible home exclusions might work with the type of real estate you invest in.Understand the STR loophole and active participation as both can save you taxes.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The idea of new construction with builder rate buydowns sounds promising, but I’m definitely steering clear of the rougher Class C tenant situations for now.Are there any specific markets or deal types you’d say still offer solid returns without venturing too far into those riskier areas?

I’ve reached out to over 20 lenders — everything from hard money to business credit lines — and most said “no” until my bankruptcy is discharged or four years past discharge.I’m not looking for personal loans or unsecured business cards — just realistic options for property acquisition or rehab loans where lenders focus on income, deal strength, or collateral value, not just credit history.If you’ve worked with any smaller or more flexible private lenders — even newer companies or individual investors — I’d really appreciate if you could share:Who they are (or at least what type of lender they are)What their approval terms were like (credit requirements, bankruptcy flexibility, etc.)What worked best when approaching them (structure, pitch, documentation, etc.)I know a lot of people in this community have rebuilt after tough seasons — any guidance or names would mean a lot.Thanks in advance for your insight and for helping someone who’s rebuilding the right way.

If so , what type of questions do you ask?
