Also, you won’t find a long term rental with a 10% down loan that isn’t going to be cash flow negative with todays rates and property values, especially if you’re not self managing.2) STR will net more but to do a great STR, you need to put the cash into the property to make it a top listing.

@Chris Coleman All you need now is a distressed property with an opportunity to buy below market value.

It does VERY well with STRS and has a ton of equity as I bought it in 2015 and the value has skyrocketed.  

Its like buying a new car, it will not go up in value in the majority of cases.2.

It's a beautiful property with a pool, picnic benches, and grill stations,  on 1/2 acre in a great part of town.The appraisal shows that with the value I've added, there is significant equity growth.The issue is that I am having a difficult time finding a lender who will help me REFI out of my hard money loan.

Builder ends up screwing us over and we are out $250k which we are in the process of trying to get back.In the meantime, I'm trying to get a private or hard money loan to finish the buildsCurrent mortgage 273,000Rehab 1 - 150,000Rehab 2 - 150,000Current value for both places approx $350,000ARV $1,000,000 for bothPlan is to refinance and hold as STRI feel that these numbers are reasonable - am I missing something?

Only issue with this is that if owner needs money, you'll likely have to come up with the difference between the loan balance and the value of the home as a down payment. 

hello, I am interested in self storage, value add in Okaloosa county. could you contact me?

I'm finding our market is going through kind of a strange shift right now where construction costs can easily outpace RE values depending on the type of property.

Private money and my own capital How did you add value to the deal?
