Can't technically have a multi unit property as a 2nd primary home, but can do it as an investment property!

Quote from @Chantel Holsather: I am always an advocate if you can fix up a property to make it more marketable, that is really the way to go.

Guests are paying for an entire month up front, not an easy task.

., I used an estimated price per square foot within the market range:Conservative: $1,200/sq. ft. → $4.8M ARVModerate: $1,350/sq. ft. → $5.4M ARVHigh-End: $1,500/sq. ft. → $6.0M ARVPremium Luxury (based on 4 Dewey Ln & 597 Beavertail Rd): $7.1MSince 245 Seaside Dr is a prime location and waterfront lots in Jamestown have high demand, I conservatively estimate $1,500/sq. ft., leading to an ARV of:4,000 sq. ft. × $1,500/sq. ft. = $6.0M – $7.1MStep 3: Justification of ARV at $7.1MWaterfront Location: High demand for oceanfront properties in Jamestown.Luxury Market Trends: High-end buyers are paying $1,200 – $1,500 per sq. ft. for new construction.Comparable Sales Support: 4 Dewey Ln and 597 Beavertail Rd confirm the $1,500/sq. ft. estimate is realistic.Low Inventory: Waterfront lots in Jamestown are scarce, increasing property value.Your ARV analysis looks pretty solid based on the comps you’ve used.

I’m from Miami would love to start an Airbnb in Orlando

I’m thinking that an SBA loan would be our best bet but I am not sure.

Im working on getting another appraiser over there in hopes i can get mid to high 6's Maybe try a BPO - this will be cheaper but not as detailed and should give you a general idea of the market - its much more expensive and time consuming to get an appraiser if your going to do multiple of them.  

Purchase price: $330,000 Cash invested: $360,000 A cash (silent) partner and I are buying this duplex, flipping it to an ARV of $460,000 then doing a cash out refi or selling it for a profit.

If they buy something for your property and you pay them back, it’s just like you bought it yourself—so you can count it as an expense in your bookkeeping.If they don’t get reimbursed, then technically it’s a gift/donation, and you can’t deduct it as an expense.

Your ability to turn around a property with an 11% cap rate is a pretty strong selling point.
