Hey @Dalton Foote - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.

Looking for various tax strategies to reduce the reality that a large RV or boat is a grossly depreciating assetI would not have a loan, so claiming it as a primary or secondary residence and claiming the mortgage deduction is not applicable.I sold my primary residence and I have several rental properties which I use as I'm fixing them up.What I'm pondering is living aboard and working aboard developing a new product, while traveling.  

There are some HOA's that are in such bad shape they wont allow any type of loans and it must be a cash purchase.

Seems doable, depending on a few factors will determine what the right product is for you.

Upon further review, there is 1 active Type 2 STR permit on this blockface prior to your STR application submittal, but a system glitch did not capture it on the OneStopMap.

There can also be a lot of bad advice, so be sure you know your local laws before blindly accepting this type of advice.After 30 years of being in this industry, a lot has happened. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I'd love to connect and see what products you have to offer.Cheers!

Financing depends on your scenario and what type of property you're purchasing.
