What is the best financing option for someone just getting in to real estate to purchase their first property and what does that process look like for someone just establishing a business?

The sooner you start the better. 1)look at other markets. 2) once you’ve established what you need, go see a couple of mortgage brokers and discuss your situation. 3)take action - buy something sooner rather than later. good luck, if you have questions, I’m happy to help. 

I would say it's best to establish a long term relationship with who you prefer working with/someone who can service your needs now and in the future.

Back to your original topic (we investors do chase rabbits sometimes)...I am not aware of such a place that is not already in an established tourism/STR market.

No glaring issues from a financial advisor?

To successfully invest in a property for steady income, establish your investment standards, research the market thoroughly, assess your financial preparedness, connect with local agents, property managers, lenders, and other investors, analyze properties carefully, consider various financing choices, do your homework before making an offer, and negotiate and finalize the deal.

Establishing strong connections with local real estate agents, property managers, financiers, and investors can offer priceless knowledge, access to opportunities, and potential collaborations.Good luck!

Just go to the lender tab on this site and look at some of the bigger more established companies..

One, was adamant that it was a bad idea because it would create an equitable interest for the tenant and if they defaulted, we would have to go through a judicial foreclosure, and then evict which could take 12+ monthsThe other lawyer, said it was no big deal and the amount we received was not enough money to establish interest in the property.

You bring up syndications at an interesting time, given the many established ones that are running into issues at the moment.
