Many banks wont touch deals that are sub 90% occupancy, so you could negotiate short term seller financing to help give you runway to make the building bankable for a refinance while you reposition it.

Any good resources for learning about hard money loans?

Specifically, short-term rentals can help you get REPS status.

I also use their virtual credit cards which enables me to assign a card to a specific person, like the cleaner for my STR for example, so when she runs a charge, it automatically drops into the right account in terms of categorizing my expenses.

I see little benefit in the FHA as an option as long as the 5% conventional loans are available now.  

If you pay down $100K in loan saving you $1K in monthly costs against rental income, or you invest that $100K in something that generates $1K in net income the result is similar.

Review Anchor Loans, they have closed many investors I've worked with.

Hi Adriana, I am a commercial real estate investor in the U.S. but I live in Dubai.In terms of the BRRR strategy, you could probably do a fix and flip in some of the older villa communities like the Springs, Meadows, or Arabian Ranches 1.

I got better terms than I could get with a bank.
