Getting financed when ready is no issue.The Market choice, and then the building of the infrastructure that will produce solid opportunity is very, very hard. 

But you don't have to pay the full 5.34% to a traditional agent.

I had it prior but had to make a career choice about 5 years ago when I was working for a dealership because it was too time consuming to keep it open. 

In my experience, section 8 tenants can be a real pain and should be vetted more from a holistic perspective than from a traditional quantitative perspective.

When people don’t have the optionality of another remote work job, they are going to have no choice

Most of the deals I've done, and likely the ones I'll will do in the future, have been funded by HNW investors, by choice. 

I am fairly confident in my choice of the syndication and just need someone to go over the numbers to confirm my understanding of the exit strategy when time comes

Hello and thank you for this reply - yes, I have been analyzing a few properties - I have found that the main issue for both the traditional long term rental and also short term rental in this area is reliable property management - it is traditionally a cottage country tourist area, but it is becoming more popular for long term residency, and there is an emerging missing middle, because of property prices.

Traditional lender is most appropriate (not hard money). 

Buyers now have more choices, and that means power is in their hands!
