You could also look into regional banks or credit unions with experience in real estate development for middle-ground options.If I were you, I’d spend some time shopping around for the best rate/terms.

Great experience for sure

I personally do have experience with renovations, and being a landlord and have done a few flips some went well and some did not and I have learned some valuable lessons along the way.

@Weronika Jedrak, I just found this thread and am wondering what your experience has been.  

I may not have the experience yet, but I’ve got the energy and determination to make it happen. 

Does anyone have experience renting with a pool, water the pros and cons, door fix the pool or fill it in and sod the backyard, is there a way not to limit liability?

That experience taught me to always overestimate CapEx and vacancy buffers... it’s much easier to sleep at night when you’ve got those cushions in place.From what I’ve read in Bloomberg, these challenges aren’t unique, especially with rising rates.

If so, I would say it is more about experience / service than amenities.  

And I do have the photos at the end by design, because I want a person to end the experience with a specific feeling of "oh wow, look at that, it's got that too", which helps drive conversion.
