Example; I am invested in a fund that does active option plays on Tesla.

I’m curious to know what others think about these options.

But you have a few different options.

My vote is option one.  

Financing options do exist: hard money loans, renovation loans, and some traditional mortgages can be used on distressed properties if criteria are met.

An option to better understand and see the model without having to spend all the time is turnkey interesting.

Another great option is the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), where you buy a fixer-upper, renovate it, rent it out, and refinance to pull your cash back for the next deal, and this is a good route because most private lenders can go higher LTV than on a rental loan! 

Willing to exhaust all options as this is a big fish. 

Right now I am just looking at my options, nowhere specific too specific.

Your credit score will be worth improving to acquire better financing options.
