I am looking at different loan options but to break even (not having to put any money of my own in the house after the initial down payment) the current down payment required is that much. 

Hey @Mike Levene, I'd recommend considering a Margin Loan against your stock portfolio.

Private lenders or even creating a small syndicate with a group of investors might also be worth exploring, especially since you can point to your uncle’s track record and your own experience managing rentals as a selling point.If timing is tight, you could look into a bridge loan to secure the property while figuring out a more permanent solution.

There is so much that goes into a successful STR beyond the very basics.Now, projections can help for people using a DSCR loan.

More syndicators go out of business and wind up in foreclosure and/or lawsuits to enforce loan guarantees. 

Using the 203k or now the HomeStyle loan you can buy a fixer upper and get all the money to renovate. 

They want you to close very fast so my clients couldn't use hard money loans.

We approached the existing lender for a loan assumption.

Co-living is how I went from renting a room, Delivering Dominos, no savings, and not being able to qualify for a loan to financial freedom & a $2M net worth in 15 months.  

On October 31st Blue Metrix reached back out and said they weren't going to pay off the loan unless they got a greater discount.
