I have worked with some investor that can take down a small full development with that type of down payment. 

What type of neighborhoods and sizes of properties are you considering?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Purchase price: $560,000 Cash invested: $140,000 STR investment What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Does anyone have any insight into what these types of businesses are typically looking for in a partner and what I should be doing to make my space a good fit for them? 

I have totally given up on Quickbooks though it remains the best accounting software for the non CPA type 

Now a "Foriegn National Mortgage" has similarities to those mortgage types but you will pay a higher interest rate and be required to have a higher downpayment as well (usually about 35% down). 

With your balance sheet and cash, you can put together creative deals without giving up equity and without using your cash but you are going to need to find a market and product which has 7-8% cap rates.I invest in the northeast, Great Lakes area.Diverse economies with education, healthcare as the back bone and tech as growth.In your area, you’ll have to raise way more capital in the form of equity just to meet DSCR with the banks.

That is the sole motivator behind seeking out these markets and property types.

Claims require certain types of evidence to pass each step.
