Once you have property it makes it so much easier to bring in investors and partners.

Due to our love of traveling and hating the negatives that LTR brings along, we prefer STR and offering the same memorable experiences to travelers that we have experienced when traveling.

there is some very good sales tactics though to bring one to move forward that is for sure..

Our website was just OK, our email campaigns were hit and miss, our conference presence was fairly minimal. 

Also, if anyone has any experience in land purchasing I would appreciate any tips or websites on how to find the best deal or agent for the same.

Maybe they bring the experience and provide the funds.I don't like any of your options based on I think you are too new to investing in real estate to take on any of those.

You have a good point bringing up demand - a lower demand again proves exactly how rents do not always go up.

Realistically speaking, except in very rare cases, I think it’s all about pictures pictures picturesMost people aren’t gonna have success  starting their own booking website or running targeted ads or creating some amazing Instagram account.

Now, I guess you could send the TCB some sort of document to cancel having you bring recorded as owner with the TCB deed - but I'm not sure that is something they would do.

I agree with the others here that say you need to have some skin in the game, if you are going to live there yourself, get an FHA loan rather than owner financing, you can get a 3.5% down loan, personally I do not love these as they require  PMI which is an additional expense, and you also need  bring additional funds for closing at least for taxes, title, attorney and transfer fees . borrowing from anyone else for the down payment, to include a personal loan from the bank is not a good idea, those again will be higher int. rate.
