Thanks for the welcome and for the insight @Rob Drum Jr.

I'll have plenty of cards for sure.I'm also going to knock doors around the neighborhood to drum up some interest for the open house.  

I'm pretty handy and ended up damaging some nice 100 year old maple floors when I got carried away with a drum sander.  

Eric a nice gentleman completed the subfloor installation just under 2 hours for...drum roll...$150!

I think it will help you a bit when you are getting started and drumming up some business.

On a 1000 sf home, one guy runs a drum sander (with belts about $80-$100/day rented from Home Depot), one guy runs a hand-held belt sander ($30 at Harbor Freight), and the third guys runs a 6" Rigid orbital sander (about $130 purchase at HD).  

How do you drum up interest in rentals if you dont want to reduce rent to below market 2.

I suggest you call local lenders and ask, some will say the don't do them, some may say the do, then check them out as to performance and closing.Issue is that some loan officer may fudge a bit saying they can to drum up business.Might get an idea of who the efficient ones might be from title companies who have construction disbursement services, they will know, not sure if they will recommend a lender but they should be able to say who does most of them.Frankly, I'd go conventional as a purchase money rehab commercial loan and move it to perm financing if needed.

Sounds like an agent trying to drum up business.
