Hello Scott, developers require a minimum down payment of 30% and the balance in  to 9 months in a pre construction condo.

So believe me, there were days I used to knock my head against the drywall until I managed to find a balance.

Also, what's the current balance on your mortgage?

One note, one balance, one solitary headache to worry about.

Quote from @Elliot Angus: I recently came across an interesting opportunity and thought I’d share the details.Mortgage Details:Outstanding Balance: $70,000Fixed Interest Rate: 3.75%Monthly Payment (PITI): $950Loan Maturity: May 2045The property’s current market value is around $225,000, leaving significant equity on the table.Tenant-Buyer Situation:The property is currently occupied by Rent to Own tenants.

I was doing non recourse SIDRA loans and the students would put 50% down and I would fund the balance.. normally sold 20 to 30 homes that last day and I probably financed 10 of them or so..

  @Brian Winberry:  Mind clarifying your Branson deal, you foreclosed and 90 days later sold it on the steps, assuming for more than the note balance was.

Your goals seem to balance future personal use with investment potential.

Additional Details:The property is in a desirable area with good amenities nearby.STR data from AirDNA shows decent revenue potential, but the lack of comps makes me hesitant.I’m looking for a balanced approach that minimizes risk, even if STR performance doesn’t hit expectations.If anyone has experience investing in Cincinnati or navigating markets where STR data is sparse, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Here's an example of a home with balanced light, good angles, and a wide-angle lens that shows more of each room: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3057-N-Azure-Ave-Fayettev...It would help to take some free lessons on how to shoot real estate.
