The table stakes are way too high right now for properties that most new STR owners are either overspending to keep up or missing the mark altogether.

Police broke down the front door and found 1 girl inside & massage tables in each room. 

Given your presumed lack of real estate experience, OPM (other than 'traditional' bank financing) is likely off the table for now. 

If it's a house, giant amenities are really table stakes in Scottsdale.

But there's a lot to like about the Portland suburbs as well, it just depends on what you are hoping to achieve, the skills or assets you bring to the table, and your timeline.

Speaking with other agents and friends in those markets, they're seeing investment properties going for far above appraisal value and buyers are having to bring enough cash to the table to cover the difference if they really want it.

My question is how do I bring investors to the table and have them interested in the niche.

Wait tables like my 17-year-old kid does and make $1,000 a week.

I have someone who I want to pitch to be a private investor and fund a flip from start to finish.Wondering if anyone has experience doing this and would like to offer some advice.Also looking for any recommendations as far as how to ideally structure the funding for the deal.Thank you Ok so you want someone to fund it all, what do you bring to the table? 

Hot tubs, pool tables, movie rooms, kayaks and canoes, bikes, games, nice comfortable beds, smart TV's, video games, well stocked kitchens, etc.
