Hi Everyone,I'm playing with the idea of building a Shipping Container Home around Asheville, NC.The plan is to either hold it as an STR, or to sell it.The question I have is regarding Mortgages:* If I hold the property for STR, I will want to be able to Re-finance my money back out (BRRR Method)* If I sell it, I will want to make sure a buyer will be able to take out a mortgage for purchase. 

Retirement planning How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Such questions are for one-on-one tax planning.

That said, you do not need a 1-yr agreement unless you're planning on listing way above market value.- You will still get a ton of calls.

She and I will be keeping in touch and my plan is to buy in 1-2 years. 

Unfortunately, there is no right answer.....It depends on the specific property, it's condition and what you're planning to do with it.For example, on a distressed property that you're going to flip, if it's listed for $250k, I have offered $150kOn a prospective primary residence that is a custom home, if you offer $650k on a $750k list price, the seller will probably just reject your offer and not even counter.

What of these things is he planning on doing to provide value?
