While I was open to carrying a note, I wasn’t going to go that high.Unfortunately, there’s been an unrealistic expectation set by the gurus that relying on seller financing is a viable strategy for buying a business.

Many investors are adapting by purchasing properties in STR-friendly markets or transitioning to mid-term rental strategies.

Which strategy are you wanting to pursue? 

Dont rely on national number to drive your investment strategy. 

I wish I had the experience to use your strategy.

You might consider other strategies, like taking a home equity loan or refinancing to fund repairs, but consulting with a tax professional or CPA would be the best next step for your specific situation. 

Most ideal would be seller financing, but open to creative strategies for a cash-flowing property. 

Leveraging equity does involve some risk, so it's important to have a sound strategy to avoid overextending yourself.

So I wouldn't hurry to jump into a program right away, but take time to learn your options and find one that fits the strategy/location you want to pursue.

Exit strategies are typically, refinance into a long term loan and hold or sell it for profit.Cheers!
