Lenders can have different loan options based on the property type and the amount of rehab (if any) required for the project. 

As for financing, make sure to explore options for using rental income to qualify, and be prepared for a 20% down payment.

Focus on networking, learning financing options, and saving up so you're ready when the right deal comes.Good luck!

For some of my homeowners - I provide them with several options 1. 

Airbnb.org, the nonprofit arm of airbnb.com, offers hosts options to assist with emergency housing in times of crisis, such as the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

If there are lease violations, mention them-you not having a key to access the unit WITH proper notice or in case of emergency is one of them.I'd also tell the tenant that they are clearly not happy there, so finding a new place is in their best interest as well and as they have several months, they should have lots of options.

If you need an option that isn't as document heavy, a DSCR cash-out might be a viable option if it's an investment property.

Otherwise, I recommend option two, using a personal loan.

One of its standout features is the ability to directly link your Airbnb account, as well as the bank accounts you use to receive rental income and pay expenses.Another feature I really appreciate is Baselane’s built-in banking option.

@Cole Starin sometimes it makes sense to sell the WORST property in your portfolio.Another option is why do a LOC on the duplex, when you could just do a $100k cashout refi to pay off all your debt AND keep the property?
