Your strategy could change the best loan options for you.

Hey proper used to be a good option years ago when not as many insurance agencies were doing STR but not many have caught up. 

But I'm looking for the cheapest option to acquire for now and then work my way up to multifamily.

Assuming you go the HELOC route, another option to reduce your costs assuming you have decent credit is to look at credit card balance transfer promotions.Back in 2003-2004 I had HELOCs on my investment properties and interest rates were increasing.

Renters today have more options and properties that are competitively priced to get leased faster!

Great option for buyers financing with VA, FHA, conventional, DSCR, or cash of course (no seller financing).The listing will be available starting in mid-February and most likely won’t be on the market for long so shoot me a DM for additional details and I’ll be happy to chat!

@Stan Mendoza There’s a ton of great info on here but a good starting point is understanding your financing options, getting familiar with the different property types, and learning about the area you want to invest in.

Your suggestion to list on open market likely is the best option for the OP.  

Home prices have decreased over the last 18 months so there is lack of good options and values still above normal. 

Stessa is a pretty good option but only for the management portion.
