I was thinking a bridge loan might be an option , and then refi it later and pay back the bridge loan,  but I'm waiting for lenders to reach back out and run some numbers.

Quote from @David Cherkowsky: Hi all, I'm interested in thoughts on creative financing options for an Airbnb in Northern Virginia.

Giving potential partners an option.

Quote from @Ryan Davies: We have heard of them but have chosen not to close deals through them since we have found better options.

If so, this is the RISKIEST option.

hey David,As a broker, I have several options if you're looking to only touch the equity in a second position lien on investment property. 

Now the decision between option 2 or 3 depends on a few variables.

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).

What about LaZBoy is that a decent middle of the road option? 

Option A would allow me to keep it as a long term rental .
