I'm Just Starting Out and Found a Dream First Investment for 2M
So I've been studying Real Estate off and on for my entire adult life, and am really wanting to dive in.
I found an amazing property with a Cashflowing AirBnB - and I want to use OPM.
What would be the first steps to getting the funding to make an offer on this property? My wife and I would run the business and also live there. Looking forward to any advice or what the best first steps would be.
The property is 2 Million - but with the water rights and Zoning we can do a lot with it...
Thanks for any insights or guidance.

This was left really open ended
What's the revenue of the AirBnB? What is it? House? Multi Unit? Location?
First step is funding - house hack maybe since you intend to live in the property? Come up with the 500k downpayment...partner or take some type of loan
Seems like a high risk and big 1st purchase for your experience level - that's just my personal opinion
