You can still achieve it, but finding deals that actually pencil out on all criteria (low enough purchase price, low enough renovation cost, cash flows on the backend, all cash out at refinance) is pretty hard.

It can be very hard to get lending for a boutique hotel right now.

Is it hard money loans, angel investors, etc?

I do have a prescreener and it's hardly ever answered. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Credit scores can be misleading when screening tenants, as many lack the term loans (like mortgages) that drive high scores.

Most hard money lenders require 10-20% down payment of the purchase price or total project cost.Holding Costs During Rehab: Yes, you'll need to cover carrying costs, including hard money interest, utilities, taxes, and insurance.

@Paul Whitehurst Without equity or cash it is very hard to scale.

With the exception of building a trailer on the property (these are hard to finance), this sounds like a good plan AND if you are using it for your business AND your business pays more than 50% of the rent (if you have more than 1 tenant), then this is a more financeable property in the eyes of banks and credit unions as it would be consider a commercial "owner-occupied" property. 

I like subto because I cant qualify for an investment loan right now so its a huge benefit, also lower buy in than an investment loan but I agree with you that its not that hard.

@Marcos De la Cruz There's no hard & fast minimum - it's based on your personal return preferences...usually I recommend to my CFO clients that they make an annual somewhat higher than what they could get by investing in the stock market.
