Can this be done in conjunction with a traditional loan?

Absolutely, alternative lenders are definitely filling gaps left by traditional banks, especially for investors who need speed, flexibility, or deals that don’t fit conventional guidelines.

Hey @Christian Oaxaca, I'm in the Denver area as well and invest in rentals.

If your taxable income is low due to business deductions (not depreciation), traditional banks and credit unions that underwrite based on tax returns aren’t ideal.

@Christian Welch  I would just add that underdeveloped or poorly maintained communities are not uniform in risk across the community.

Hit the nail on the head here, Christian.

From a tax perspective, starting with STR or mid-term rentals near college towns can be a great opportunity because these types of properties can create opportunities to offset income in ways that more traditional investments might not.
