I want to explore every avenue to make this work, and I’d even be open to partnering with an experienced motel operator to help bridge my knowledge gap.

For some of my homeowners - I provide them with several options 1. 

Then rent the bigger home out using a property manager, allowing her to possibly cash flow and maintain that asset and let it continue to grow in value.Encourage her to consult with a CPA or tax attorney to explore the best strategy tailored to her situation.

For investors looking to maximize returns while managing risk, here’s why this type of deal stands out compared to Treasuries.Treasuries: Safety with Limited UpsideTreasuries are an attractive option for those seeking safety, especially short-term bonds with maturities of one year or less.

So before dismissing your options, you may want to consult an investor friendly Lender who is an out of the box thinker.

The more cash on hand the more options.

Alternatively, I could explore hard money lenders.

What other options would be good?  

So brainstorm the different options then pull the trigger!

I suppose something more turn-key could be a good option, but haven't come across many viable options there yet.Anyways, we still have a lot more to learn and still need to familiarize ourselves with the area/market, but just wanted to pop in to say hi!
