Hi @Travis Peterson.It's always best to talk to a local loan officer as they are licensed in our state and have access to options beyond what banks may offer.I will DM you lenders who have helped my BiggerPockets STR clients buy in Scottsdale and Metro Phoenix.And I would be happy to be a resource for you, so please feel free to reach out.Melanie

Helocs are also much harder to get on an investment property versus a COR.If you ever have any question feel free to reach out I am always happy to talk REI!

What I'm really doing is creating a "workshop" space that's part of the house that can be used towards a business write off, but can also be easily converted to living space with plumbing/wiring already installed in walls/floors.

Reach out to brokers in your area and see who can help. 

Hi @Nicolas BiangelThanks so much for reaching out, we will definitely connect! 

In multifamily one error in the underwriting could easily cost you 30k and if you have a seasoned mentor who is there to catch it, well then it probably paid for itself.  

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out

I usually have to reach out to someone that has it every year which is getting very old.

Attend your local REI meetups to build up a strong network and feel free to reach out and connect with everyone in the community.

Commenting on this post to hopefully give you some more reach.
