Hi Vincent, I think the confusion here is the downpayment aspect of the loan.

Your contractor team is arguably one of the more challenging aspects of the pipeline.

For example, I am a little concerned about some aspects of the business cycle recovery and a potential for a double-dip so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or low-debt equity).

The biggest difference to me is that YOU have control of every aspect of an active investment, while somebody else is in “control” of a passive investment.  

Does that operational aspect have to devour all cash-flow, no not necessarily but it could, all depending on situation specifics right. 

Hi all,I have been a solo agent for a few years and recently joined a team with the hopes of learning some new things and try the cold calling aspect.

One critical aspect we focus on is identifying and preventing fraud.

While I agree that the purchase is an important part of the process, if you buy based on price and not on the STR aspect of the deal, it could fail.You might get the best damn deal on a property in an area that makes a terrible STR thus it isn't a deal at all.

I appreciate you telling me your experiences with it, I understand there are different aspects of real estate.

For contact management like that its awesome to search for specific types of people and locations or just data like "how long does it take to foreclose in texas".We have some other use cases as well that we use to track not only ours but competitors results online and learning what does and does not work for different aspects of the business.
