You might also consider creative strategies, such as renting parts of the property to cover expenses while you navigate the process.Best of luck, and I’d love to hear how things progress.

It's just a room and private bathroom and that unit KILLS on Booking but not really on Air or Homeaway/Vrbo.All of my 1-3 bedroom "whole unit" listings do good on Airbnb but not so much on Booking or Homeaway/Vrbo.And I have a 5 bedroom unit and it does nothing on Booking, but pretty good on Air and Homeaway/Vrbo.I think bigger units that facilitate large groups do well on Homeaway for some reason.

Please, anyone has done creative financing or know anyone who specializes?

I am ready and will be starting with property number one sometime, hopefully, quarter one of 2025 with a possibly 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom single family home; as this is within my current budget.

I have recently bought a 2 bedroom single family in Cahokia.

And what you've also seen is people that were renting 3 bedroom cabins are now deciding they can get by with the smaller one and two bedroom cabins. 

What is everyone's favorite form of creative financing (seller finance, subto, etc..) ?

.✅ Exploring creative ways to get deals done, even without a ton of upfront capital.I know that success in real estate is a team sport.

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.

This is a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom single family house.
