The ladies in these small mountain towns are raising kids, cleaning in-between school hours, sometimes even having their kids help them work the business after hours.Before you read, No, we chose not to start a cleaning company and pay via W2. 

What alternatives have you explored, and how did they impact your investment outcomes?

I would also explore paying the premium to be near one of the universities, so you have a bigger tenant pool.

I've been considering a property near one of my kid's colleges that is  currently a multifamily. 3 units: 2/1, 1/1, 1/1.

I'm looking to explore the investment opportunity of real estate to create a chance to spend more time with family and build a business for my children to inherit.

While they often come with higher interest rates, they can be a quick way to secure funding based on the property's value.Peer-to-Peer Lending Platforms: Exploring P2P lending options might connect you with lenders willing to fund real estate investments.I once knew an investor who faced a similar challenge and successfully used a combination of a bridge loan and seller financing to close the deal.

Feel free to reach out if you're open to exploring loan options, and we can discuss how to make this happen.It may be possible to pull some strings and get you a no-experience ground-up-construction loan, I'd be willing to go to bat for you.
