One thing you should always look for in life and as an investor is to use your "unfair advantages".

However, with high rates, the next mortgage would be very expensive, and a vacancy would be intensely expensive with two mortgages.

It is very important that the Wrap Mortgage is written at market terms using a knowledgeable attorney, an RMLO, and a servicing entity.These have risk and I'm not saying a new investor should go out and do them. 

I've closed a bunch of loans with Kiavi, Roc, and a few with ABL, I also closed with RCN, Easy Street, Lima One, and some smaller private lenders.I've come to the conclusion that the experience at the lender is not globally good or globally bad. 

Most successful STR owners I work with in the Pocono's/Lake Wallenpaupack PA utilize only someone to clean, and a few local handymen.

The only creative way I can see (obviously not knowing enough details) is an owner carry with you as the operator and a JV partner as the financial backing.

People don’t want to share their quiet neighborhoods with renters who don’t value peace and quiet and a sense of community.  

There are a lot of possibilities and a lot of ways to make money in RE.  

Congrats on finding a property and a willing seller!
