You should also be engaging when collecting soft commitments from investors, once the deal is in place, and after the deal closes.

@Jo-Ann Lapin I was just looking up hard money lenders this morning.

I’ve told a few of the realtors that i would like to be an assistant or even just someone who can bring them coffee in the mornings and pick their brains.  

While we do not have a lot of cash on hand that we can use right now (around $30k), we would qualify for at least a $80k HELOC, and I would also not be opposed to loaning against my 401k as I have maxed that out every year since I entered the work-force after college (10 years ago).I'm continuing to read these forums and just started listening to the podcasts this morning. 

I can vouch that @Brian Koons pulled this off, actually posted a video on YouTube about his story this morning!

Sent him a text (today) Tuesday morning - since I have not heard from him, I told him since I have not heard from him I am thinking he does not want to stay, I gave a 24 hr notice of entry to take pictures to list for rent.

You can essentially keep using the entitlement after the one year residency, the caps are lifted as of Jan 2020, however for the $0 down it has a soft cap based on area zip code after which  you have to put down the regular 20%.

Good Morning BP Community!

For this deal, I was checking Zillow.com and FSBO.com every morning for the past few weeks, before this house hit he market.

Location, charm, convenience, pet policies and other soft factors frequently are the drivers for rental rates.
