I was just a guest at an Airbnb that was not 5-star, so I provided very detailed feedback privately and a heads up that I would not be giving 5 stars.

They must reimburse you for taking your private property and using it.

I have $25K cash for a down payment and can add $20K/year ($1,600/month) toward payments.No W2s, I've looked into building a small home right away and using a bank statements loan (have about 8800. monthly income) , but with 9%+ interest rates, it’s beyond my budget.Is there any sort of creative financing ideas possible or private lender possibilities?

I AM NOW USING MY 9-5 TO PAY OFF THE PRIVATE LENDER EVERY MONTH WE ARE SET BACK FINANCIALLY BUT THE future IS BRIGHT ! 

We invest in non performing loans and do some private lending as well.

I have a potential private lender, but I need to determine if this is a viable investment opportunity and explore the best financing optionsYou’re a first time investor going for 36 units… alone?

Quote from @Rodney Davis: They presented themselves as private lenders.

I've only read about it, but never really investigated it since I don't see it possible for me.What about private lending? 

. #2 many private/hard money lenders will consider furnishings if the deal, including the furnishings, falls into their deal box.Believe it or not, it might be easier to include the furnishings in the deal with a significantly lower down payment if there is other rehab work to be done.

I use a private lender to borrow money to buy properties.
