AS we see some GP failures there is another thread on this guy Lane Kawauka not sure how you spell it but one of his investors gets on BP and says they go dark..

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Francisco AvancenaThere are specific lenders who will do land dealsBut of course not as many as traditional real estate.The key will be skin in the game - typically for land because it is less liquid than a home the lender will want to have a lower ltv on the deal I fund land flippers currently in  CO FLA WA ID MT NV AZ OR TX SC GA VA  one thing about land though LTV is lower and RATES are NOT the same as typical HML rates are higher for raw land but its a specialty niche and a business that I grew up in..

Hi @Ashley MillerBanner Elk is a great place for STR due to the busy summer season, ski season, and fall leaf color season.

That document they provided, with all the colored font, was a mess to wade through.

And like you say some people are more in the dark end of the spectrum when they run their business.

The deposit amount when working with a lender comes from the lender - it is basically the amount of skin the lender wants you to have in the game. 

One demanded we paint the interior the color they wanted or they wouldn't renew their lease.8) MoveOut damages typically exceed their security deposit.

Many sellers will not accept this since they are in second position, and it is very risky since if you default (higher probability for investors with no money and/or no skin in the game), they will most likely be wiped out during a foreclosure.

The areas to be painted and the choice of colors will be agreed upon by the Lessor before painting begins.

Also im pretty sure he promotes section 8 rentals and gives you a story with rose colored glasses.
