Quote from @Amanda Dobbs: Is there a place to find Private Investors as in one person?

Hard money lenders focus more on the property’s value rather than your personal debt to income ratio (which traditional banks use) allowing for quicker approval and funding.

Look into a DSCR, Debt Service Coverage Ratio, loan where the rental income can be used to qualify the cash out refinance instead of your personal income.To Your Success! 

To clarify, in MN a person must be a licensed to perform at-charge Property Management services, for others, on a standard commerce basis. 

I have from time to time spoken with the city administrator, economic developer, & a person at building planning commission.

Now, should you decide to enter into a real estate transaction WITHOUT a licensed agent, one should be mindful to not get unpset should that person get scammed in the real estate purchase or sell transaction.

but keep in mind CA has higher taxes and reg fees and I’m not doing more than 1-2 flips (short timeframe flips)  a year and many years do 0 flipsDo most flippers put flips into LLC Or in personal name (sole proprietor)  in CA (where you must pay $800 yearly plus accounting and other fees $300to $600+ yearly to maintain LLC) Pros for personal name-save on taxes accounting.

The tenant has two types of coverage: liability and personal property.

Nothing is ever the tenant's fault and the system always blames the owner/PMC.This is why we record EVERY phone call, save every email and will NOT allow our staff to use personal cell phones for texting.

That is just what I am seeing personally, and I work with investors all over the country.
