**Consider Alternative Options:** - If you can't afford an STR now, think about partnering with someone or exploring other financing options that might help you get into the STR market sooner.### Conclusion:Don't worry about overthinking it; it's good that you're considering all your options carefully.

Yeah, that seems the most attractive to me.

From what I’ve seen, some flippers are still willing to pay buyer’s agent commissions, especially if they want to attract more buyers and make their properties more competitive.

Alternately for the persistant ones I just keep the line open, meaning tie their people up by just putting the phone on the counter and let them talk.I am surprized they are not labeled as potential spam on your phone expecially with the sequential numbers. 

Need facts, not a general alternative.

Just be aware that this adds another layer of complexity, and you’ll want to check with both your lender and a real estate attorney to make sure everything is set up correctly.When it comes to terms, owner financing gives you a lot of flexibility:Interest rate: You want something attractive to the buyer but that compensates you for the risk of holding that second lien.Repayment schedule: You can choose a traditional 15- or 30-year schedule, or go with something shorter if you want to be paid off sooner.Balloon payment: Many owner-financed deals include a balloon payment, meaning the buyer pays off the remaining balance after a set period (usually 5-10 years).

I wanted to build because the area I’m looking is pretty competitive with STR’s and it has to be something unique and attractive and I feel this will be easier to accomplish building new.

Thanks that’s very helpful, I’m just starting to look at alternatives to simply selling stock since I now see how negatively impactful that would be to my long net worth so I’ll be exploring the options you mentioned, thanks again!

Best part is I needed proximity to NYC when I purchased this property so getting in and out of the city was breeze which in turn attracted desirable tenants who also need proximity to NYC.
