thanksRyan  @Ryan RuppertShopify is a great platform for e-commerce, but it might not be the best fit for managing STRs in the long term.

Once this is determined you can select the best neighborhood and asset that fits your capabilities. 

I am also involved in management at one of the largest STR property management firms in Cashiers.

If you're planning to rehab properties for rental or flipping, a hard money lender might be the right fit.

If this isn't the type of loan which would be recommended, if anyone knows of a different loan that would better fit this situation, please let me know. 

You can find something in Durham and parts of Raleigh, specifically zips 27610, 27603, and parts of 27604 that would meet your criteria, however generally speaking most of the inventory that would fit what you are looking for in Raleigh or Durham would likely be in neighborhoods that I personally wouldn't want to invest in, C- to D type neighborhoods.

That could totally be based on execution failure, but for us, it just wasn't a good fit. 

Offer to intern, find a way to get involved.3rd - If you find a deal, you can then find financing! 

These are great for experienced flippers who can handle the tight timelines and costs.Private investing usually involves individuals funding your deal, like friends, family, or networking connections.
