Really simple things that should have been easily taken care of by customer service but I could not get them to understand the problem I was encountering and it would take days to get a response.

They often offer more flexible terms and customized interest rates and repayment schedules.

Then start finding properties and I would encourage you to lean towards finding less riskier versions of that strategy at first and get your feet wet, and after you gain some experience you can start evaluating different options and offshoots. 

Also you have to constantly look for customers and you competing with highly competitive hard money lenders.Lendng under $50k is great idea because most HML don't do loans less then 100k.So I found that traditional real estate is much more passive and easier but I still be interested in private lending on a deal to deal basis I such deal falls into my inbox and it passes all check and balances. 

When looking for an investment in the Poconos area, I know it's best to look for higher bedroom count to encourage larger groups that can split a higher per night cost. 

Shannon,I have some customers that purchased in and around Salisbury, NC and they have found some good deals in terms of purchase price to cash flow ratio on investment rentals.

You'd need to create custom Tags to make it work, which isn't hard, but its a bit more time consuming.

I would encourage anyone interested to take a look at my presence on BiggerPockets and LinkedIn and I would love to receive feedback and answer any questions.

Most everything will work at that point, but there will always be additional customization that you’ll need to do.

Nice to see 2 endorsements, especially from long term customers.
