I would love to connect and discuss different aspects of the Hard Money Lending process, Draw fees, etc.

There is also the emotional aspect that makes us want to avoid certain things, like townies walking through just because they are nosey.

Just walk away if you sense they won't let you investigate any aspect of the property you wish to.

And virtually all of them had owned rentals and maybe kept a few but were just tired on the TTT but wanted monthly cash flow . so there probably is some of that at play as well Investors that dont want to deal with the PM aspect of owning RE..

@Jae Jun: Although the conversation has changed much, and toned down regarding proposed restrictions, the plan from jump has been to allow anyone with an existing STR, so far defined as a place that's been rented STR at least 2 consecutive days in the last 6 months, to get a permit and be grandfathered.

I'll only add when talking to brokers have a "buy box" defined and research commercial deals to understand it as best you can before you have your first meeting or your broker contact will likely consider you to be a low-chance buyer and not take you seriously.

These details and the creative aspect of an STR seem like they will be an exciting avenue. 

@Jefferey EutsayIs there a specific aspect of this deal that you are hoping to get advice on?

Seems to be defined by the learner goal and the market.

Finally, define your long-term investment strategy, whether you’re aiming for cash flow, appreciation, or a combination, so that each decision aligns with your bigger goals.
