If you want to own a STR (vs just an Airbnb) and grow a portfolio, you want someone doing the same which is very different than just being an Airbnb.

I don't know enough about seller financing to comment on that, but I would have gone with a different realtor after the first 3 months with no offers.

Hello Abby,My answers to your questions, everyone has different opinions but here are mine:1) Yes it is 100% worth it, if not only for the business line of credit you can establish2) Deals are harder and harder to find, at least where I am from and surrounding areas.

interesting to see, a bit different but any market has development that works. we do a similar strategy for new construction but it's based on land location and identification rezoning zones that are ideal for high density in columbus oh, and a product that does very well which we do a triplex on a slab. all the same. 50k for a lot, 300k hard cost build for a stacked 2/1 triplex about 650 sq ft per unit, appraises for $500k approx when done, total return of capital within 12 months (Build, rent, refinance, repeat), and then redo the same process. it's harder to do it in some areas but in columbus we mostly do it in the urban core where density is typically supported because of the abundance of multifamily already.

The holder of the note makes no real difference; in Jane's case, it might be more advantageous to her to hold the note than sell outright depending on how she can absorb the sale from a tax perspective; in your case you don't have enough income to do a conventional loan so getting a seller carry can give you more properties.

They keep sending different inspectors and each ones says one thing, we get it done, another comes back for another round of things.
