I believe it is over priced (originally for sale by owner for $280k,later listed through agent at $360k), but I feel like the seller may be open to a creative financing option. 

What made you decide to get into real estate? Was it a specific moment or just a long-term goal? I’m curious to know what clicked for you to make that leap into the investment world.

Does anyone have a sample of an assignable option contract for real estate that I can use? 

However, there are better options than $180 a month and $1000 for a WP site. 

Welcome Anthony, BP is a great platform to learn and connect with other investors!

For example I use RentRedi and offer that as one of the options for my tenants to pay rent.

Crowdfunding platforms tailored to hospitality investments might be another avenue to explore.

As a new investor, your best bet is to start small with an app like DealMachine or Propstream so you have direct control of your options.

So I am looking to see if anyone has ideas about what options I should consider to gain more experience in real estate investing as I get my finances up to make my first purchase.  

My wife and I own it together, but i may be able to buy her out and keep it as a short-term rental without spending all my personal capital.I’m looking for advice on financing options, buyout strategies, and any creative solutions others have used in similar situations.
