Looking to learn more about Zi-Find.Zi-Find just approached me via Zillow interested in marketing my Memphis TN property.

This collaborative approach not only enriches your understanding but also opens doors to potential partnerships and investment opportunities.

@Nicholas A. your shotgun approach has a high probability of getting the exact quality you put into it.95%+ of real estate agent, many of them posting they are "investor-friendly", only know how to deal with owner-occupied transactions. 

Since your lender requires prior experience building and selling/refinancing a single-family residence (SFR) on your own property, you may need to adjust your approach.

@Melanie AlzugrayInvesting in a resort you and your family enjoy is a fantastic approach.

I was approached by Avantstay and wondered if anyone in this forum has had experience with them from owner point of view. 

It sounds like you’ve navigated some serious challenges while staying committed to your long-term investment goals, which is a testament to your resilience.The current market definitely presents challenges, but it also holds opportunities—especially for investors who take a strategic, long-term approach.

Would love to hear thoughts from experienced investors—does this approach make sense for a first-time real estate deal?

I’m considering countering with a price closer to the market value, but I’m curious how others approach deals like this.Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

So not really a one sized fits all approach which is the nice thing about real estate being able to cater it to yourself and your goals.
