You could find yourself with a 2 year above market rate lease with no way to STR the property.With all that being said, here are some things I would do based on your question.A pitch deck needs to be simple and concise.

Looking for any guidance on any equity based lenders out there?

We are based in North Haven.

That is what the valuation is based on.

So think twice before taking any outsized risks, as you already achieved a nice equity base, and you don’t want to end up screwing the pooch by taking unneeded risks ;)Good luck and keep us posted on your decisions…

I would encourage you to sit down with a couple of real estate salespersons and choose one based upon experience as well as knowledge of the area. 

You are correct; I made an assumption that we wouldn't be able to sell through a realtor based on the factors against us.

I have only been declining based on credit so far so I haven't gotten to the point yet where I needed to do the prior landlord interviews, but will definitely be interviewing as many prior landlords as possible.

That means making calculated numbers based decisions, not emotional ones.

In my free time, I like to play pickleball, bass guitar, and I write real estate based articles on LinkedIn.
