I will bookmark this for future reference.  

I should also mention, this is the first broker we've spoken with (referred by our realtor).

He helped me acquire my current fix-flip & he has also referred me listings as well.

It's a generalized term for living with tenents, whether it's just a bedroom, or three other units; if someone is helping pay the mortgage, people on the site will refer to it as house hacking. 

Hey Everyone,I'm new to real estate investing and was looking for references and advice on hard money lenders in the area of Montgomery, AL.

I have someone for you i'll refer you to. they can do these types of properties not sure about section 8

Before this, I mailed the owner a letter, other investors tried to purchase this same property to no avail...But , when I contacted the owner, the same neighbor put in a good word for me....Yaaass, we closed that sweet deal in 2 weeks...This same neighbor referred a tenant..She calls me if anything out of the ordinary takes place at those 2 properties..1.  

I see reference a lot to school grades on here, as in:  "It's a C town" or "C- area" etc.  

I want to give them some sort of 'speech' and in return have them give their clients my card or a reference.

@Rich Weese are you referring to the marketplace?
