Reach out to the Marcus & Millichap offices in Columbus/Cleveland and have one of the MMCC commercial mortgage brokers produce a few quotes for you.If you don't have the time to research contact info / programs for 25-50 different lenders and make the calls/emails necessary to obtain optimal financing, hire a broker.

And that the lessee's AirBnB policy/program is inefficient in filling the gap as well.

A mentor to partner and begin developing with him.I haven't seen any good coaching program around here.

@Christopher MillerDid you take his program?

That MIGHT be the best program for you, but even if it is not that is what you will be sold as it their only product.

I purchased the audio version of Scott's book and joined his SlowFlip program.

This means 20-25% for a down payment, and it has to be your money that you're using (verifiably in an account that belongs to you).Though there are programs that lend up to 90/100 to first-time investors, those programs usually don't work in Maine due to the rural nature.

Long story short, we settled with one of our VIPs for $72k they put up a non refundable the same day.

Oh, and the platforms are actually more friendly to the buyers than sellers. that is why they will take money from hosts on practically any complaint from a guest, or suspend a persons listing until they can prove/disprove any guest allegation.Airbnb’s big focus has been making users able to just use Airbnb system instead of using third-party programs like cleaning calendars or pricing system.

If you and your family are willing to house hack and use either an FHA 203k or homestyle renovation loan, the path of least resistance with the lowest risk, in my opinion.If you didn't want to house hack you could try a live-in-flip with those same loan programs!
