I'm a local realtor that specializes in STR's in Flathead Valley area and would be happy to assist you.  

@Danny Sanchez most downpayment assistance programs won't provide assistance on a 2-4 unit property. 

The issue with the stats was that a lot of times an all-cash offer was considered a sale to a foreign investor so the stats were not great.

A lot of contractors offer financing 

3) Who is the right person to assist with researching liens and title issues on properties?

They offered it as a partnership.

Hello Alexandra,Usually a bank wont offer traditional financing on a BRRRR, generally BRRRR properties are unlivable/ in need of a lot of work.

I welcome any advice or insights you can offer to refine my investment strategy.Exploring Future Opportunities:- Assuming I successfully acquire two properties, would I be eligible to obtain loans against these properties to further invest in real estate?

That being said, I ultimately had to take a 15K price drop on the house and finally got a solid offer from a young buyer.

I offered higher than asking price for this then negotiated down once I saw the inspections.
