My suggestions would be in this order:(a) Determine the type of financing you qualify for - this will short cut the process considerably and save time on investment angles and next steps.

Has not been easy to get a call back or on the phone.I just got an idea typing this.

there was a follow up post where someone got a loan from them but for realistic rates  8% or so and few points.. under 6% private / hard money simply does not exist unless its a family friends type situation. that bank rates or lower right now for new construction or fix flip  

Don't buy those types of homes, they will take a long time and not sell for what you were thinking it would sell for! 

They put more money into the local economy.It will also attract all types of investors.

Hey Jonathan,I found contractors through refferals and facebook groups, those contractors were great but they are not experienced in new construction; plus with me being out of state it would be ideal for me to hire a GC, instead of sub hiring ( i dont have time for that being far away),I am switching from rentals and fix and flips due to there's just more profit when doing new construction, and way more deals!

We also had the option of another type of policy that was even less expensive that would have required us to spend at least 1 night in the house and rent it at least 30 nights each year.

@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

I don’t want my lack of experience with motels to stand in the way of making this opportunity a success.I’m primarily looking to connect with investors or operators who have experience with motels to learn more about this asset type.

I have experience building my own DTC consumer goods type sites so I was planning to build my own.
