@John Paul, it's time to graduate from "old school" and start living in the 21st century for your own benefit.

It’s crucial to negotiate terms that benefit both parties, involve a trusted attorney and title company, and conduct thorough inspections and market research to ensure a solid deal.Good luck!

Neutral colors work well, and energy-efficient upgrades not only attract buyers but can also qualify for tax benefits.

Self-managing the STR has some great tax benefits if you meet IRS requirements.  

Tax Benefits are also a result of time, good bookkeeping, and tax advisory.- Market Appreciation is the least predictable, but historically, where you will make the most money.

This is because there’s well established case law that states a lender can only hold a guarantor personally liable if there was a benefit received.

Property was on market for about 170 daysI originally started the STR plan for tax benefits and plan to do cost segregation as i fall into high income bracket (37%+ 11% state) saving around 50k for 600k property.I have no plan to personally use the property and this is purely investmentI thought i found a great deal because properties in the area are selling for 205-220 per sqft.

If so, then it makes sense to get loans from the start.Cash gives you the benefit to win against others, as @JD Martin said, and then finance it later.
