Found the deal searching the sites and negotiated with the help of Craig Curlope at the FI Team How did you finance this deal?

Creative finance is definitely a great strategy right now.

The main issue with multifamily STR deals is financing.

My low-tech way for doing this has been to get a legal pad and write a different subject across the top of each page: Tenant Screening, Financing, Landlord Tips, Finding Housing, etc.  

It is cash you wouldn't have been able to finance anyway and easier to enforce than a judgement or bank levy. 

@Devin CutlerI can finance your HELOC funding request.

I found it through a wholesaler, created a relationship and he accepted our offer How did you finance this deal?

Finding financing and deals is not the area where I'm struggling getting started the most, but it's whether I need to seek out a professional contractor to hire and do the rehab or take the time and effort myself and do the cosmetic work/repairs the home needs.

There are a lot of "micro-skills" required: finding a great deal, forecasting returns accurately, financing it, hiring and managing contractors (difficult!)

Mike, I would love to connect and speak about the area and the different strategies, creative financing, and tools needed to succeed in the Myrtle Beach market.
