@Tayvion Payton to get a better understanding of the loan products, it's best to have a conversation with a commercial loan officer at a local community bank or credit union.On commercial, the number one rule is a deal meeting their DSCR loan covenant, which is typically 1.2 to 1.25.

Hi Don, welcome to the community! 

Welcome to the BP community!

Another work around that isn’t discussed much is working on a strategy with your insurance company to protect your other assets in the event of a claim.But also, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to consider getting the financing into your LLc name with a community bank and pulling cash out if you have substantial equity.Right now, since the loan is in your name, it shows up on your personal credit report.  

@Mike WilfongWelcome to the BiggerPockets community!

STR investors aren't really looked at that favorably in our mountain communities these days, putting it lightly. 

You've come to the right place - I suspect you'll receive many, similar messages from others in the community and a variety of offers to help.Have you looked into fix & flips or long-term rentals (aka BRRR)?

It's encouraging to see someone else in the same boat.I also live in Washington and have been thinking about establishing a community investment group.
