Unfortunately you will rarely see it materialize as Arron just learned.

However, I have been trying to figure out possible creative financing options to build more without having to sell, but I cannot seem to find a lender willing to do 100% down on land and construction even though the LTV would be below 50% since I can basically build for costs of material plus minimal labor by doing almost all of it myself , with a little help here and there. 

His last excuse was that he was waiting on cabinets and materials—this is just a standard rental rehab.By September, I decided to end our contract and started looking for a new contractor to complete the work.

These strategies can also apply to foreign STRs if you meet material participation and substantial services criteria.

I want to avoid dipping into my retirement because I’ve run the numbers and even just pulling out $500k for down payments absolutely kills the compound interest and makes a material impact on future net worth.

He is over priced but it's close enough that we might find alternate means to make the deal work for both of us.
