Should I walk away from the first property or try to raise private money to make both deals happen? 

In some spots, we work some places like sponsor themselves as private yoga teachers, or private chefs, etc., and it helps our str get a lot of business and a lot of those folks recommend our STRs. 

Subject to the existing mortgage of 170k @4% originated on 1/1/2022 plus catching up 20k of arrears/escrow/legal fees and then eventually Airbnb Furniture and holding costs of another 15k from private money.

Hi @Neil Anthony Giscombe, I work with a few dozen national private lenders and everything that @Jay Hinrichs mentioned is spot-on.

@Lauren Dominick , I'll connect with you privately.

Gap funding from a private lender could be an option and will be expensive.

They do provide on-going training and coaching Monday through Friday through their private facebook page. 

As someone who works in private equity/private credit, I can attest to the fact that they are major players among the large institutional investors.I work as a fund accountant and performance metrics are a large part of what I do.

A career GP (who invests in my own deals), yes, but also an LP in private placements across a broad spectrum of industries, real estate included, so I see this issue from both perspectives.I think we do agree that many GPs won't, don't, or can't invest in their own offerings, and I also think we agree that GP investment makes LPs feel better.I think where we differ is that the existence or absence of this investment makes a tangible difference. 

I'll reach out privately.
