Look for markets with diverse job opportunities, population growth, and a strong local economy.Financing: Explore your financing options, such as traditional mortgages, home equity loans, or investment property loans.

It's for a buyer who can't qualify for a traditional mortgage.

You're stacking risk factors - long distance (I think), first time STR investor, short on cash, partner to buy the land, lack of financing options due to land and non-traditional structures, and a little distress/hurry.

I know some software will do it for you but that is for more traditional lenders.

However, it's important to remember this trend started in the not too distant past, and for a very long time before that the norm was separate rooms, so it's not surprising that there are actually considerable disadvantages of open floorplans and advantages of more traditional ones.Opening the kitchen to the rest of the house has to be one of the worst aspects of this trend.

It's not traditional and it comes with plenty of risks but it's a great way to get into properties with low down payment, as well as lower interest rates than the current market allows for.

Hello Brandon Sisco, finding the best lender for a 90% loan-to-value (LTV) mortgage based on bank statements can be challenging, as these loans are often geared towards self-employed borrowers who might not have traditional income documentation.
