Based on the comments, it seems like knowing how to hire right and bring in a strong team is one of the key pieces to getting all the areas you mentioned taken care of effectively.

Here’s why:When they need a fast closingThey don’t want to go through the property listing process with brokersWhen they wanted to be selective about buyerWhen they want to make sure that the buyer will take good care of the propertyWhen the seller is emotionally connected with the propertyWhat I have been learning through this off-market experience is that buyers need to understand that everything is about sales.

In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

We closed on a 3/1 about a month ago and the contractor we had been talking to and selected is now ghosting/leading us on. using hml for this flip so holding costs are steep.

I approached location selection based on metro areas, not states.

Have you gotten any feedback/recommendations on good cost-effective amenities for your STRs? 

No matter where you focus, you'll have company.I buy single family homes in one target zip code, drilling down into a select few neighborhoods by a development I believe is going to create extreme appreciation and elevate the type of tenant looking to occupy the walkable dwellings.

I don't believe we want to look at a cash out refi as we do not want to increase monthly payments on the home, effectively negating our rental income.

I’d be more then happy to run up a quote so you can see how it will effect your cash flow and if it is right for you.Let me know if either of you are interested! 

I am wondering if my investment property will effect my ability to be approved for a mortgage on my future primary residence given that timeline, thanks!
