Offer to put her in a hotel and buy her dinner to "ease" her concerns while the carpet is stretched.

Stop with all the dinners out, vacations, downsize car, downsize your house or rental, etc.  

Then when I was at Halls Chop house ( were i would always have dinner at least one night on my trips there..

I am also willing to bet you dinner somewhere that the loan docs on the underlying mortgage have somekind of prohibition on doing exactly what is being done. 

one thing that's negative from Out of state investing is that we as landlord never grow up. we don't develop business channel, we don't develop business skillset, and we give money to out of state realtor and out of state property management only.in term of business education, investing and creating local business locally is way preferable.I'd rather want to know much the NNN lease in san mateo in-n-out burger rather than 2/1 in indianapolis.Passive investing IMO is detrimental in long term as we almost don't gain anything from a family dinner cash flow.

I do.Does a PM invite better tenants to their own house to shoot guns, drink beer and have dinner? 

I will gladly take any suggestions like meet ups, learning websites, books, podcasts, or even meet with other people who started real-estate investing to talk while I buy them coffee or dinner. 

In case you didn't read my post, I have been able to put around $50,000 extra toward my mortgage using this strategy (in 2 years) without skipping lattes and dinners and so forth.

And although there is an exception for them in the regs, more often than not they are not experienced enough to give you good service beyond holding the proceeds.For 1250 your QI not only should be able to close tomorrow but buy you dinner as well :).

* my initial credit is good because my mom put me on her card and she has extremely good credit Great questions Jake, make sure to buy your Mom a nice dinner once you get the card for adding you to her card and helping you build credit!
