Have you tried contacting a local community bank? 

Being a part of the local REIAs in both towns can help you understand more of what is going on.  

@Kayla Elliott  Hi Kayla - this was a commercial mortgage loan with a local bank, that held it "in house" after it was issued. 

For me, it’s been a mix of local friends and paid contractors.

With careful planning and local insights, Richmond can be a solid addition to your investment portfolio.Good luck!

Hi @Frank Pyle,**I am not affiliated with any of the companies mentioned**To secure long-term financing for your Airbnb, look for DSCR lenders that accept pro forma income instead of requiring 12 months of rental history.

You must hire locals who are familiar and acclimated to the culture of the city you plan to create rentals in. 

If you are an agent and local you should be able to scout the areas.

Our company is built to make it easy for everyday investors to invest in rental properties.

Hi Isaiah, I am based in Fort Lauderdale and can speak to the local market directly.
