Hi Ashley, I can definitely help you find a STR in Galveston.

Hey @Ashley Hutchins - sorry to hear about your situation and personal family matter, as other comments have mentioned this would be an eviction process that you should probably hire a real estate attorney to handle... assuming you and your partner can't sort it out internally with your SIL. 

Hi Ashley, If you are planning to build...most construction lenders will allow you to use your equity in the land as your "down payment" on a construction loan! 

@Ashley Montgomery Look up hard money or construction lenders in your area.

If monthly rentals: look at West Ashley or, my preference, Summerville.  

My name is Shelby Ashley and I live in Huntsville, Alabama. 

Quote from @Ashley Undercuffler: It sounds like this really worked out for you!

@Ashley Pimsner reach out to @Michael Barbari at First Midwest to find out.

@Ashley Wolfe for 21 grand you can get a one bedroom in my market that will gross 35-40k per year.
