@Brenden Stadelman in general legit lenders do not ask for maney up front other than for an appraisal.

What would be my best approach, I assume find a private lender and work out some deal with them.

Our lender license number is 60DBO-64540.

It was a big project in terms of the amount of work it needed, I just ran out of time with my lender going through the garbage with the contractor, finding a new one, and finishing taking the longest. other than that I would've let it sit on the market to get closer to what I actually wanted for the property.

I was also going to ask if you'll have access to the property - many lenders will require an appraisal.

You can save a lot on costs if you do many repairs yourself.Look into hard money lenders or private lenders for the initial purchase and rehab.Connect with wholesalers, agents specializing in investment properties, and other BRRRR investors to find deals and learn more.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Roger that @Brandon Vukelich, but I don't see lenders adding STR revenue to the actual property valuation in the future.

There's a post right above mine from a lender... there's always a lender offering $$$ even when people can't afford it. 

Have a hard money lender ready in case you need them.
