How long do you intend to keep the property? 

We’d love to keep our investment properties closer to home. 

I am also involved in management at one of the largest STR property management firms in Cashiers.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

Many banks wont touch deals that are sub 90% occupancy, so you could negotiate short term seller financing to help give you runway to make the building bankable for a refinance while you reposition it.

One with low cash, one with some owner financing and a little less price. 

The plan is to transition into a new home in 2025 or 2026 while converting this property into a long-term rental.

BRRRR, Fix Flip, taxes, deal analysis, market analysis, marketing, financing, etc.  

Conveniently located near major routes, this property blends modern amenities with rural charm close to Etna Pond.

I’d rather have more properties with mortgages than a couple paid off properties.
