I'd love for that to be at least 20+ units and I'm curious how some of you financed your first deals?

I love creative financing, who doesn't?

@Placeholder Placeholder, I've financed quite a few STR's in the St Pete market.

If you have any financing questions, feel free to reach out.

Leverage your construction expertise to accurately estimate rehab costs and streamline renovations, and focus on financing strategies like hard money or private loans for your BRRRR deals.

How did you finance this deal?

In the city of Portland (Oregon) they only allow us to run rental/criminal history if a tenant applicant isn't contributing to rent (if they aren't paying, we don't get to look at their finances). 

Acquisition people, asset managers, finance/accounting roles are all needed to run properties, even if the property management is outsourced.  

Either way, $600 in cash flow should actually help your personal DTI if you go for conventional financing on a primary again. 

The objective is to keep as much of your operating capital intact as possible.The goal is to buy, fix, finance, and avoid leaving cash in the deal, so you always have liquidity for future projects.
