Worked out of Atlanta for a couple years before quitting and moving to Fort Collins, CO to live the “front range ski bum” life.

Never had a team, own personal homes in 3 states and play golf or ski and vacation when I want to. 

At this moment, I only own one apartment in ski report in Alps mountain and want to expand my portfolio.

Maybe on a Friday or Saturday evening so you can still get a full day of skiing at Mammoth Mountain?

looking for creative ideas/recommendations on how to finance a lot purchase/duplex build in a high cost of living area (mountain ski town)... plan is to turn and sell 1/2 the duplex for a good profit which will payoff approx 70% of the total cost of the land + build. then re-fi the remaining into a traditional mortgage and use the remaining 1/2 duplex as an investment property which we will do as a STR partially and use as a vacation home.we'd prefer to not collateralize/heloc our main home and rental property (currently only have 1).

So that's why I ended up resorting to the letter to the door with a P.S.

FYI: The property is Rural, the purchase price was less the 50k is all I will say, it may be hard to get renters in the place because of the location but it is less than 5 minutes from a riverfront resort do I was even thinking possibly Airbnb or hunting lodge?

I'd try to not offer money or anything unless a last resort because once they learn they can get money from you they will likely try to extort more. 

@Braden Smith you practically read my mind I often find some that I think would be great and sometimes the numbers would make sense but I always run into the capital wall I've been doing alot of research on hard money lenders in my area but that is my last resort.

My first STR is also in a ski town, but not BB.
