It's no wonder they ditched the master lease structure - easy to see now how they were losing money on it. 

They cited insurance reasons, which could very well be true, but many residents felt it as a big "f you" Now folks from outside the community could argue this was an entitled stance from the residents, to feel they had access to this private land when they didn't, and that on the face is certainly true.

And, perhaps most importantly, make sure you have access to flexible financing options that can help you adapt to new market conditions.

—it’s also about reliability, attention to detail, and someone who just “gets” your space and your guests’ expectations.Do you have any hidden gems, local recommendations, or tips to share?

I would appreciate any tips or experience with any creative financing options!

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Avoiding accessive PM fees (personally I recommend most people self-manage)These will eat away at your ROI.

If they need access to the property immediately, you can offer to leave to them until you are ready to close. 

One tip I have for you when it comes to finding an agent or lender go to the top of this page under BUILD YOUR INVESTING TEAM and click on AGENTS & LENDERSFrom there you will be asked a series of questions and then you'll be matched with 3-5 agents/lenders.

If you pay off your mortgage (which is a good interest rate), you will likely burn through that cash flow as it is more accessible, AND that money isnt working for you anymore (unless you reinvested it).
