If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications.2.

Having "real estate investing" or "real estate" anything, in your LLC name will surely raise red flags for banks, especially as you move beyond net 30 accounts to larger credit lines.

Mine was above so wasn't costly to do - $3k but if they have to dig to add the larger wire, it'll be more.

Does their contract have some sort of contingency that allows them to apply for a billboard and back out if its rejected?

I choose a larger bank (better rates), two local banks (less restrictions, and one in which I already banked.Step 3 (network with everyone): During my lunch breaks at work and in between changing diapers I would call/text anyone I knew or didn’t know to discuss real estate.

The ARV supports the juice, but I think either my "perfect world" has to be compromised, or a HELOC of some sort- if I can. 

just don't do a lease. as others have mentioned, this forces the buyer of the property to take over the lease (if its even allowed/ they qualify) and it certainly does make the property a little tougher to sell. i'm also doing a house hack, and here in CA, its made a world of difference for me. the bulk of our energy usage is in the summer when we want to run the a/c. my bill stays a constant $228/mo (i pocketed the tax credit and simply financed the panels after that grace period). instead of getting an $800 bill in the summer months, we run the a/c at a constant temperature 24/7 on auto, stay comfortable, and i typically get a little bit coming back at the end of the year. don't expect to pocket this "little bit back" by being conservative with your useage, it sort of is a use-it-or-lose-it situation... i think i got $54 back this year.

@Neil Lieb oh man I hadn't heard about that potential tax increase, and those sort of things are exactly what I was hoping to find out from the more seasoned investors on this forum.

Units 1-7 are rented out at $725 on 12-month leases (although I have not gotten the expiration dates on those yet), and Units 8-9 are not completed but are slightly larger townhomes than can be renovated and rented out for more along the lines of $850-900.

Another bus will be coming along later.It's possible there was some sort of fluke with the communication, but since you contacted multiple ways it seems less likely.
