Like @Chris Seveney said, private lending is a great way to go as well.  

I've also heard of requirements to own for at least one year before you can use the home as a STR.Hawaii is a leftist state that doesn't protect private property rights.

Your best bet is to ask for referrals from professionals in the space: realtors, other investors, this forum, FB groups, etc.

Also, a few private lenders or hard money lenders might have some more creative terms for multifamily, especially if you're open to considering that route.

I first got started in real estate investing working for a real estate private equity firm in NYC.

Your best/safest bet would be a regular lease combined with an option to purchase.

I'm in a number of social groups for private lenders and have run into a lot of scams.

The country's continuous population growth, coupled with its high demand for urban housing, positions its real estate market for steady, long-term price increases.Over the past decade, cities like Berlin and Munich have seen remarkable growth in property values, with an increasing number of investors betting on the continued upward trend.

I’m currently working on a deal in Fort Lauderdale & actively looking for financing solutions like hard money or private lending.

I’ll bet if Peace has a forum there’s people talking about BP and being negative “what they’re teaching takes so long!!”
