I've been trying for years to find somebody that would give me a line of credit on an investment property but have had no luck. 

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

They have a payments 3rd party website, but it's hard to find the link from their main website. 

I've heard too many stories of investors purchasing homes for STR use, only to find that they lose their permit or the ability to transfer it when they sell.

We try to find properties that either be modified while keeping the sales price in mind or have a flow that works just needing updating.The open concept is another point that works for some but not the way it was pre-pandemic in many areas. 

For example, say I have a foreclosure, or expired listing lead that I would like to find accurate phone numbers for for prospecting.

Hoping to go down one of two paths:1- Buy a condo or small single family home and build equity and create value with my maintenance/construction background.2- Find a cash provider to do this on a larger scale with a 3-5 unit building. 

If at all possible find a 4plex.

If they tell you no, then stop and find a different strategy.

Ready or not, gonna find you and make you mine.
