During the entirety of 2021, I hosted monthly meetups in Fairview Heights, IL (just outsde of Belleville) that brought in real estate investors from the metro east.

So does anyone have any guidance and ideas or know any banks that do rehab loans were all the money including labor is upfront and then we pay a monthly?

Another solution is to simply list it as an STR and say "contact host for long term rates".

It will auto download bank and credit card transactions, give you reports by account, category or property in any form you want. 

I heard a podcast the other day with a host saying something along the lines of "there's 3 phases of investing: starting, scaling, and harvesting."

So if I understand, you would get a loan the normal way and then the bank trust is an extra fee that comes along with owning the property in Mexico?

I'm not sure if I want to do co-hosting though. 

Try talking to local banks who want to do business with you.

I always remember that rockstars know rockstars, so find someone who is a mover and shaker - likely a meetup host - and then ask them who they know.The people doing 100 flips are super busy, so I've also found the best person to find is someone who is a step or two ahead of me...so maybe for you, that is someone doing 2-3 flips a year. 

But I will say from the feedback we've been getting from hosts in the Smokies, make sure you run your numbers good and know how to stand out in a heavily saturated market.
