I've run into a situation that appears to be unique and need some advise.

My plan is to utilize the 5% down payment available through conventional loans.I would essentially mega-commute for the first year or two, working about 10-day stretches and then having equal time off, using my PTO strategically to gain more time off.

We are on the final stretch in getting a debt fund established; and look forward to the increased liquidity it will allow us to pull in. 

I also have another unique option where I could sell off portions of my equity at $50 increments with a 3% fee - but I would also proportionally lose any cash flow and appreciation - so I'm not fully convinced that's a good option - although I understand I can try to use the equity sold to get higher returns, but I'd need to at minimum, cover the cash flow returns I've lost through the sale.

I've been buying pre-foreclosures and at the auction (Trustee's Sales and Sheriff's Sales) since 2002 in Arizona, Illinois and Wisconsin.Each state has a unique set of rules for how the process works (judicial and non-judicial states).

You *may* have luck in the outer neighborhoods of the boroughs (Far Rockaway for example), but that is a stretch. 

Nevada is a unique state in it has a lot of hoops to jump through for Hard Money Lenders to lend in (versus much less regulations in most other states) - not impossible to find by any means, but Nevada is going to limit your options

I have a unique opportunity to take a family owned property that normally just sits and turn it into an STR.
