I like to use local lenders because they will know the rental market and local agents will know the lender can get the financing done making your offer slightly stronger over using a national lender. 

What are the best ways to finance said property?

No financing. 

How did you finance this deal?

I would echo the statments made by others that things are more management intensive than a si gle family rental, but not 10x for intensive even though I make 10x the cashflow of a single family rental with the same financing. 

How did you finance this deal?

it doesn't cost a lot to put utilities and parking pads in or even entitle it or to purchase land. it's just a lot of work that no one wants to do. parks are hard to get approved but they are not expensive to develop. it's nothing but utilities and parking pads and an office. harder to finance too, but compared to apartment development or mixed use development it is one of the cheapest and highest performing assets because of reduced construction costs. 

I've secured financing for many STR deals and I know agents who specify in finding good STR opportunity, I also help my clients mine solid fix and flip/hold opportunities. 

@Cody Miller,Or you can rent out your current place and find a new primary residence to get better financing options. 

You would have a much easier time to finance a property that can easily debt service.
