I have found other 100% financing options as well.

However, there are better options than $180 a month and $1000 for a WP site. 

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option. 

Quote from @Jimmy Chao: I am weighing some options to help my younger brother buying his first primary with a fixer.

Some/many lenders don't like a 2nd mortgage behind their first (like the skin in the game), however there are both bridge or permanent financing options out there allowing you to leverage anywhere from 90% CLTV - 100% CLTV, but don't expect good terms...

But I think the better option is tenant pay for it, that way they will know it may go against them for not paying rent..

An option to better understand and see the model without having to spend all the time is turnkey interesting.

Assuming you go the HELOC route, another option to reduce your costs assuming you have decent credit is to look at credit card balance transfer promotions.Back in 2003-2004 I had HELOCs on my investment properties and interest rates were increasing.

I had it up and running in less than two hours and already had my first reservation via Airbnb.As far as the co-host goes, I am moving forward with the VA option to co-host with me.

none of the above  Any insight into other options?
