People go get 4 year degrees in hotel/hospitality management.There are several folks on here that have invested in very small places like 8 units or so and I could see that working more like a STR vs a traditional hotel. 

It works great if you're planning to BRRRR or refinance once the value is forced.That said, if you're looking for long term financing with a fixed rate and want to lock in terms upfront, a traditional mortgage with 20% down could make sense too — especially if you're not planning to pull out the equity again soon.I’m an investor & mortgage broker in Florida and help investors structure creative financing options all the time.

If that goes through you just hit the lottery. 

So the only option left is a self-directed IRA.If your funds in the 401k are pre-tax you can only rollover into Traditional IRA.

Or should we we just purchase traditional 10%-20% down move in ready home? 

That distinction can open the door to more traditional financing options, but it’s definitely an uphill battle educating lenders and partners about the process.

I work mostly with short-term rental investors in Denver, Colorado Springs and the mountains, so a different world than traditional LTR.I see people being cautious with their purchase.

I wouldn’t qualify for a traditional mortgage due to not having a traditional w-2 income.

There are other virtual banking options out there, including Relay Bank.I personally like traditional banks and am a fan of Chase.What types of reports are you looking to run?

Love the mindset..CRE really is a team sport.Just to clarify, I’m not an LP in the traditional sense.
