Hi @Josh Duncan is the property you are looking to buy going to be a long-term buy and hold, or will it be a fix and flip? The answer to that question will likely determine a lot about the best way to finance the property, along with your personal financials. I am located nearby in Nashville and happy to help anyway that I can - please feel free to PM me.
