The key is to start small, learn as you go, and work your way up!

Purchase price: $895,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Small Commercial retail space.

As mentioned by @Chris Mason, Bridge Loans: These short-term loans can provide immediate financing until more traditional financing becomes available or until the property stabilizes and becomes more attractive to lenders.Interest rates and stipulations may be a pain.Out of the box here and requires a few more research, SBA Loans: Small Business Administration loans can be an option, especially the SBA 7(a) loan program, which can be used for hotel acquisitions.I heard someone  mention - Mezzanine Financing: it involves a combination of debt and equity financing, which might appeal to some investors looking for higher returns.

A few things to consider when shopping for an STR on the Oregon Coast:- Geographic Restrictions: These are small, remote towns.

I was in national construction for 5+ years I'm not afraid of a small contractor who's ripping you guys off 

Still too expensive for properties with small number of units.

This is a group of MTR investors who have small to medium portfolios, but we welcome new investors who are just starting out as well.

I'm a super small time investor.

Single-family homes and small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes) are solid options depending on your goals.
