So I'm basically trying to explore if i can borrow money in an alternative way than conventional loan.

In suburban Chicago, historical significance or celebrity ties might create a niche appeal, but they won’t necessarily drive up the home’s market value in the same way as location, condition, and local comps.For a short-term rental, though, it could be a great marketing angle—especially if the person is well-known and has a strong local connection.

In my view, this trend is likely to persist and could be a strong demographic tailwind for a long-term investor like yourself.Specifically, Athens, AL—a city about 30 miles west of downtown Huntsville—was the #1 fastest-growing city in the state in 2023, so there’s a lot of growth, development, and opportunity in and around Huntsville proper.If you have the time, do some driving around.

Don't let taxes drive your investment decision.

Their clear incentive is to bet on falling interest rates between now and debt maturity.A small handful of owners are forced to sell due to a looming balloon payment that a refi won't cover, but you're not going to find one of those by driving the market when any commercial broker can just look up properties on that basis and start making calls. 

I landed off of Highway 64 between Cashiers and Highlands - so good proximity to both without a daunting drive to get to a great view. 

If you need to, it may be worth it to just create a website - its really not that expensive to get a basic one from fiverr

Basically- As investors, we're hosed.

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

And basically I’m just realizing I don’t know how to know if these are reasonable prices or not?
