We reconfigured the landscaping so the house had a private entrance and yard, and then added a kitchen and refreshed the interior, and had it permitted as a legal ADU.

The Prescott quad city area is bigger than Sedona, with more to offer in the way of jobs and education:  Prescott is more expensive, 500 ft higher so has more snow and trees, but still very dry with the current drought. 

Thanks in advance for any insights and guidance you can offer!

This is making it difficult finding insurance carriers willing to offer a policy.

Once you gain traction and get some deals the good news is you can hire a VA to at least to the initial calls for you (less no's) and you only talk to the ones interested in your offer (I know it because I run a call center for Real Estate).Mailers can also work, in that case interested sellers reach out to you, mailers can be expensive though so its also a numbers game.

@Jake Fleming you should speak with an experienced attorney about raising capital legalities, so you don't get yourself in trouble with the SEC.Once you know what you can and cannot do, you should use the Classifieds Forum and also post on Facebook, etc.

You just need to make sure that the list price of your property is well below 70% of ARV to ensure wholesalers or fellow investor end buyers will be putting forth an offer.

I'm writing an offer on a property that I'm planning to pay all cash for. 

I'm currently a buy and hold investor (utilizing various househacks), but I'm hoping to get into the STR space end of this year/early next year.In terms of your financing options, here are some things that come to mind (albeit may or may not apply to your situation):- Utilize second-home loan option (10% downpayment) if the property qualifies- Utilize a small local bank to see what loan options they may offer (perhaps some may have experience lending on STR?
