So I'm guessing I can get a DSCR loan; my basic googling shows that they cost around $10k to close; which seems very high for my strategy; considering I'd be holding this for 2-3 months maximum.Getting HELOC seems another way, but I don't necessarily have that much equity that I can tap into.

I guess a combo of STR and MTR would be an option.You can STR in Alexandria.

I guess that's part of my question, if you could have the security deposit cover that and people's experiences so I could better prepare myself. 

Although I’m guessing most people in this position would use Wordpress or something more customizable.

I'm guessing it's the winter and the location.

Guess I need to find a good real estate attorney as well

You can use a SQ FT format to guess rehab but that is only good to initially look at a deal.

I have to sell it, but guess who has to request the payoff amount from the lender….thats right, the ORIGINAL borrower.

So I guess I am wondering if at my age its too late to get rich slow as is the case with most investing.

I love the town, but I guess that my point is that it has substantial challenges as a full time local.
