Hi Everyone!
BP Newbie here. So we just bought a 4plex in Minneapolis to househack. We’re living in 1 and renting out the other 3. 
My problem is that we have only had 2 inquiries that haven’t resulted in applicatio...

Here's the problem... 1) I can not offer on publicly listed properties without proof of funds2) I do not want to promise a homeowner of an off market property the world and not be able to follow through3) I have had challenges finding a partner willing to take a risk on me (someone with little experience, some knowledge, & a lot of drive) without a dealI feel like in order to attract an equity investor with my level of experience, I need a deal with so much margin they would be crazy to say no.

I just started producing content heavily on Instagram.

I"m very attracted to the idea of STR in ether the Gatlinburg or Gulf coast areas.  

Is this type of home just not attractive to most buyers or something?

But when I run the sample numbers these properties are always coming back less attractive than the others (even when accounting for additional expenditures on the properties that will need some type of work sooner than later).

The main issue to make sure is does the property actually produce or is the GP playing catching down the line or at sale.

I feel like a UPS tenant would attract other tenants quicker as well.#2) Tenant is a local business owner, who is opening a 2nd location of their business which has been successful since creation3 years ago. 

The home should be functional, safe and relatively attractive.

I just made sure it would be an attractive enough offer to this guy based on what I learned about him and his situation.
