Hi @Travis Peterson.It's always best to talk to a local loan officer as they are licensed in our state and have access to options beyond what banks may offer.I will DM you lenders who have helped my BiggerPockets STR clients buy in Scottsdale and Metro Phoenix.And I would be happy to be a resource for you, so please feel free to reach out.Melanie

I feel completely overwhelmed and not sure of where to start.

Helocs are also much harder to get on an investment property versus a COR.If you ever have any question feel free to reach out I am always happy to talk REI!

I will bring equity and planned to be responsible for 50% of any maintenance expenses.Reading other articles on the forum it seems like a 50/50 split of equity in return for the work listed above may be standard but thats why I am asking the community.Any additional thoughts are greatly appreciated.

@Mitch Messer thank you for your reply, the repair budget is what I'm struggling with, I was thinking about bringing a contractor when I walk a house.

I'm over at eXp Commercial, and with the size of the company it opens up a number of opportunities to collaborate with other brokers all over the US and the world. eXp and REAL both offer a revenue share component which incentives agents to form teams and bring on other agents, I think that is one of the drives for both

@Jessica Carcamo I would recommend going to meetups and meeting investors and others doing what you want to do and offer to bring in some capital and find the deal and partner with a seasoned investor on your first few.
