Financing impact depends on if you are already financed or if you're looking for Seller financing. 

How did you finance this deal?

I acquired 1927 NW 20 Ave in Miami from a retired owner who had units rented far below market at about $1,200/month.

Focus on rent rolls, expenses, and value add opportunities.Your off market strategy can still work well building relationships with local brokers and owners often uncovers good deals. 

Are you changing anything about your financing mix (private money vs. hard money vs. bank/DSCR)?

I currently own property and am actively looking for opportunities to expand into both short-term and long-term rentals, with an emphasis on properties that can cash flow today and appreciate over time.My strategy is centered on:Leveraging equity and creative financing to scale acquisitionsTargeting value-add and high-equity opportunities in growing Florida marketsBuilding relationships with local agents, wholesalers, contractors, and fellow investorsI’m here to learn from the community, share insights along the way, and hopefully connect with others doing similar deals.

What I’m trying to understand is whether this can realistically be financed as a single land + construction deal, where the construction loan closes at the same time as the land purchase and the land value is credited toward the equity requirement, instead of needing a large amount of cash in upfront.What I keep hearing from many lenders is “buy the land first, then we need 15–20% cash,” which may be their policy.

The goal isn’t just to buy a property, it’s to not put yourself in a financial corner on deal #1.Starting slower with the right structure often beats rushing with the wrong financing, I sent you a DM, let's connect!

Much better to be an owner than buying a timeshare.

If I were to do this parental financing, it would be this summer, but yea it would definitely be a big ask; although, I would be able to contribute $15k-$20k to the down payment.
