The increasing barrier to entry results in fewer new STR's coming available for sale, but also fewer options for guests to rent. 

I forgot to mention another sales tactic is to tell people at the three day class you can charge your investors the 40k tuition.

And since you are licensed, you can potentially do some sales on the side to increase income and save up for investing.

@JR Gonzalez, You can allocate the proceeds from your sale anyway you want. 

This will be the largest bond sale in US history coming up which on top of the debt we are also running as well - if we have so much debt to sell I do not see rates going down, I think they may rise (or stay around where they are at). 

My day job is being a financial professional, so I have good experience with underwriting and sales that I believe can be translated to real estate.

I did not mention, but this is a probate sale, and the seller is the executor of the estate.

At the time, we were new to the market and, admittedly, didn’t conduct thorough due diligence before buying.We purchased a property in the Atlanta area, renovated it, and listed it for sale.

If you already have existing property and transfer property to an LLC, then it could trigger the due on sale clause the bank.

But it had been for sale on the market since July, 2024.
