Back then, the market was more stable, interest rates were below 4.5%, and distressed properties sold at significant discounts.Today, distressed properties often sell at a premium, and cash-out refinance rates are above 8%.The best BRRRR deal I can find today involves buying a property with cash, investing in the rehab with cash, pulling out 75% of the ARV and breaking even on rent and mortgage.

Another one I wish I had taken earlier was to get involved with a boutique or specialized commercial broker. 

Calculating these losses involves documenting the fair market value of the property before and after the disaster, adjusted for any insurance or other reimbursements.

@Brad Kanouse I have an idea that doesn't involve drawing from your IRA.

Depending on where the property is and the lender involved, and what he has told the lender, and so on and so on, you handle things accordingly.

As mentioned by @Chris Mason, Bridge Loans: These short-term loans can provide immediate financing until more traditional financing becomes available or until the property stabilizes and becomes more attractive to lenders.Interest rates and stipulations may be a pain.Out of the box here and requires a few more research, SBA Loans: Small Business Administration loans can be an option, especially the SBA 7(a) loan program, which can be used for hotel acquisitions.I heard someone  mention - Mezzanine Financing: it involves a combination of debt and equity financing, which might appeal to some investors looking for higher returns.

I was just hoping to transition it into LTR and since we have newer furniture that fits the space well, it just seemed a shame to sell it all to do an unfurnished LTR, but again, I'm having a hard time understanding how logistically some of the details are worked out with that with furniture involved in an LTR.Thank you again for the support!

@Polat Caglayan The majority of investors who become involved in the section 8 program do so because they purchase lousy real estate and leasing the units to section 8 tenants is the best option on the table.

Prayers to all involved
