And don’t discount creative financing deals or buying off market properties at deeper discounts.

Has anybody raised capital from a deal from facebook/instagram ads, billboards, or other creative advertising means?

I definitely love how creative you can get with funding real estate deals which then crosses over to other financial aspects of life.

Gotta be careful doing AirBnb and STR's down here with all the restrictions and regulations.I know people doing them successfully in Broward but it's very tough in Dade and Palm Beach.My guess would be that Broward is next on the list to tighten things up so just be prepared in case.

Also, remember STR's are a hospitality business, so be prepared to chat with guest on the phone, text with them and make them feel welcome.

I have been trying to consume as many podcasts/articles/forums and books as possible to educate myself and get prepared before I jump in.

Be prepared , a couple hundred isnt going to get you anywhere .

In short, it has a lot to do with how I wasn’t raised and me not taking responsibility over my life in that way.So I think the refi options is great and actually I found a creative way to do so through a private lender.

Be prepared to pay a higher rate, have a shorter term, and put down 25%.

You have to understand their individual needs more deeply and get creative.
