Hello BigPocketers,I’m seeking advice on the best way to approach this situation.

We've done a few new builds over on the east side and it's an area w/ long term upside.

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

Because of this, they have changed their fee structure on me two times in the past two years2) They don't have back up cleaners so when the cleaner can't clean, they block off my calendar3) They do not have easily legible financial statements and do not provide 1099s 4) They have made decisions that have required my money without consent5) They block off check-ins on Sundays6) They are not great with technology - though they try to use hostfully to list on many platforms, I will frequently see that my listing is not up on VRBO for example.

Congrats on finding willing private lenders!

In Austin, I know Horizon Bank has been open to more creative financing strategies too, so it’s worth checking with them.One thing to keep in mind is that the terms can vary wildly depending on the institution, so I always recommend reaching out to a financial advisor who’s well-versed in life insurance-backed loans before pulling the trigger.

If anyone is near tampa bay and has experience with this I'd love to network and connect.

We have a pretty solid lease that has served us well on our properties but on the most recent move-out by a long-term tenant that always paid early, we had to clean from floor to ceiling and everything in between. 

I like the idea of gaining much more knowledge.
