Ways to Finance First Short Term Rental near Gatlinburg, TN

[Ethan Cole]

I am wanting to get into STR's near Gatlinburg. I have experience with LTR's, but this seems to be a different ballgame. The market I'm in has a significantly lower cost of entry, consequently it brings lower returns than a market like Gatlinburg. My biggest hurdle for moving quickly is the amount the down payment would need to buy to buy in this market. What are some creative ways you have used to come up with large sums of money quickly?
