Looking to strategize/consult
Hi all!
I've read books, listened to podcasts and have a general idea of what I want to do. I would love to consult with someone to talk through the best strategy to make it happen. I'm self employed, about to file taxes to then refinance a condo in FL, with the hopes of pulling from the equity to purchase in a town surrounding Asheville. The idea would be to use the property as a STR when I'm traveling.
When talking to lenders, it seems they have to stay within the confines of their jobs (limited from advising) and I'd prefer to consult with someone outside of the "yes/no" role and be able to lean into the "how".
Thanks friends!
