Design and photography are like the front end to attract guests — and they often get overlooked and minimized (oh you can design it yourself, who cares).You cannot design your property the way you like and want — you need to design with guest in mind and go from there: WHY ARE THEY THERE, WHERE ARE THEY GOING, WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT WOULD MAKE THEM FEEL COMFORTABLE, HAPPY, RELAXED IN YOUR SPACE —— while having fun!

The goal is to attract the interest, a stampede when the property becomes available and a bidding war as a result.Your pictures can show the property with all of its glory and be taken such that the problematic windows are not shown.

On one end, you have sponsors who attract institutional capital, family offices, private equity, or high–net-worth investors where the LP's often negotiate stronger terms and maintain greater control. 

I think most buy attracted to the cash flow and price point (based on the capital they have available), but over time investors realize they are harder to manage, have higher turnover/expenses, as well as lower appreciation.

.*  Faster approvals*  Flexible terms*  Relationship-based, not credit-baseLearn how to attract private investors and structure win-win deals, because the best investors don’t wait for banks.

You can still find single-family homes or small multis in the $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one, which makes it really attractive for both local and out-of-state investors.

My bank has launched a portfolio loan that would allow a qualified individual to buy a 2nd home loan with just 5% down, No MI and very attractive rates.

As a realtor, I see buyers being much more sensitive to total cost, financing incentives, and maintenance predictability, which makes new construction much more attractive now than in the past.

- Going to guess that the payment difference wasn't enough to spur interest.Also going to guess a decent amount of people will use the 50-year mortgage and justify it by looking at what they may gain via appreciation versus renting and getting nothing.More investors may be more attracted to this product than average owner-occupants. - It will improve cashflow, similar to an interest-only (for first 3-5 years) mortgage. 

I’d definitely recommend adding a drone or map shot that highlights your proximity to the beach and nearby attractions — it helps guests visualize the location instantly.
