Hi @Scott Deetlefs. We have some great options here in Asheville if you want to reconnect once you're local.

Post: DSCR loan for STR Investment Property in North Carolina

Hi @Ben Miller. I live near Lake Lure, and can help you with a DSCR loan (and resources and referrals as well).

We (Movement Mortgage) have an amazing DSCR program. No prepayment penalties for one thing. No restrictions or issues regarding rural properties, or cabins, short-term rental, first time investors, etc. And we underwrite them internally, so much more upfront assurance that the deal will work. Also, because we’re the most common lender in the area, our preapproval letters can be helpful in getting your offer accepted, because the seller’s agent will know and trust us.

I’ll send you my contact information in a direct message.

And if you’re in town sometime soon, I’d love to meet you to one of the two monthly BP meet ups that I host here in Asheville.

Quote from @Travis Timmons:

Just pay the taxes rather than rushing into an investment that you don't fully understand. If you love STRs and want to be in that business, then invest. Otherwise, pay the tax bill and move on. There are worse things than paying a lot of money to the IRS. 

Also, 40% bonus depreciation doesn't move the needle all that much. If 100% comes back, different story, but you're making a speculative bet on that and the tax tail is wagging the dog. 

Sage advise here, @Travis Timmons@Yair Zarmon I'd add that you need to put some sort of value on your time. Even at a low rate, 500 hours will surely cost you more than it'll save you in taxes, no?

@David Aylor I live and invest here in Asheville, and we, Movement Mortgage that is, can help you with this. Our in-house DSCR programs allow for STR income qualification, and also allow for cashouts on properties that don't have a performance history or are otherwise vacant. And perhaps best of all, we don't have prepayment penalties. I'll send you my contact info in a message.

Quote from @Tyler Green:

Hey Everyone - I’ve invested in FL and Brooklyn but want to add to my portfolio in a new market. I’ve always loved Asheville and would love to meet with local realtors or property managers who could sell me on investing in the area and help guide me to a smart purchase.  

I’m not looking to get rich quick but would love to find a break even, “safe”, long term investment.  Something that can pay itself off and have a good chance of appreciating over time   As 


Also open to investing in SC, VA, GA, or TN if anyone has a market they're passionate about.

Hey Tyler. I'm happy to intro you to a variety of people here in Asheville that can help you if you want to call me. I'll send you my number. And if you're in town for one of our twice-monthly BP meetups, I'd enjoy meeting you at one of them.

Hi @Brooke Morton. United Federal Credit Union is the best option in my opinion. I refer business to Jason Chambers over there quite often. Movement Bank, a sister company to the one I work for (Movement Mortgage) is great as well. And as a third option, AgFirst Farm Credit is an option. I'll message you some contact info for these. And we'd love to have you visit one of our local BP meetups sometime soon.

@Lisa Hart. You've traversed some crazy times, moving here just before the storm, buying a place in Swannanoa, etc. Anyways, I saw your note about networking. We have a couple, roundtable type meetups herein Asheville every month, the next of which happens next Wednesday (2/26) morning at 9AM at Citizen Vinyl. No need to RSVP, but if you want to you can do so at our meetup.com page, titled Bigger Pockets AVL Meetup. And if you message me your email address I'll add you to the list we use for events announcements. 

Hi @Cody Vlaun. Chad at Pisgah Home Inspections can handle this type of project. I confirmed just now with his wife, Ashley. She handles his schedule. I'll send you her contact info by DM. I might have another option for you as well, but am waiting to hear back.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs:

try to get the owner to finance it..  Just ask the owner what are you going to do with the money if you sell for cash?? they usually say stick it in the bank.. so you can offer them a nice return above bank CDs and on an asset they already know and like etc..

So what I always did / do is give an A  B 

all cash offer lowest price

sell on terms  higher price. 

Good point. @Craig Holland Land is often sold with owner financing, in part because buyers have a hard time financing it, and in part because buyers often only need a short time before they can build on the land and refinance out of the seller loan.
