Hey @Thomas McPherson,I've heard that CABIs (Collateral Assignment of Beneficial Interest) can be a fantastic tool for scaling your lending capital!

My concern, though, is committing to a long-term stay that could extend into the peak season, potentially limiting our ability to capitalize on higher demand during that period.Has anyone else faced similar challenges with their STR during the slow season?

Had the chance to do this flip with a close friend that did not have to capital to take it on themselves.

The downside is they usually come with higher interest rates and shorter loan terms.Partnerships or Co-signers: If your husband or a trusted partner has U.S. legal status and credit history, they might be able to co-sign or help with financing.Cash Purchases: Since you have savings in Canada, you might consider using that for your first property, especially for a smaller rehab project.Foreign National Loans: Some lenders specialize in providing loans for foreign nationals.

Rents and property values rise pretty steadily in our market at a rate about 2-3X the national average.

Once you sell your old property and use a QI, the exchange will be complete and your capital gains will be deferred.

The larger wholesalers use VA to skip trace and cold call saving them all of the work but you need capital for that.I recommend going to some events here in the DFW area.

For example, I have repeatedly informed him of my very negative experience with ABC Capital Investments (still going on almost one year with no payments to show for it) and yet he continues to promote ABC Capital Investments in Baltimore and Philadelphia despite fully knowing that many people continue to have very bad experiences with them.

So, you, as an individual, may not get to the same rate that a MASSIVE national builder can...but you can certainly offer credits to the buyers to help buy down the rates.
