Hey Dan - That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially after hosting so many successful stays over the years.

I can say from having taught classes on these loans that your contractor will be the biggest key to your success.

Creative financing options like seller financing and partnerships can help build a successful portfolio.Good luck!

A recent divorce can cause serious credit issues and I've had success with a tenant in this situation. 

I want them to benefit from the success of our ventures and reap the rewards of their trust in me.

Cheers to a successful 2025!

Thanks again and I wish you all a happy and successful real estate year! 

We have a Chicago general contracting business, and handling the field operations is a ridiculously heavy lift.As far as finding customers I think you'll have some good success with gorillia marking at some of the local investor meetups. 

@Nicholas Nakamurain order to be successful, you will need to build a network on the ground in Ohio with people you know and trust. buying a random property on the MLS in unknown condition based on other people looking at it, and putting it under management with people you have never met, will not work, and you will lose money.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...so - what's your plan? 

You WILL be successful.
