Having a lease in place will help you as well - some lenders won't refi a vacant property.For your refi, you're usually looking at 75-80% max LTV with a debt service loan.

You really got to do due diligence right now if you look into Lake Okeechobee Florida and that surrounding area I feel it can go well.  

I second this - Beth is great and has a group as well where you can learn a ton on private lending.To the poster who mentioned giving them 100% financing - as a private lender NEVER give someone 100% financing.

Hello BP Members,I hope you're all doing well!

When scouting for properties, explore areas on the west side as well as some parts of the east for potential opportunities.

Well that is a bonus @Collin Hays!

If they do not want to price it well then do not take the listing.

It also includes managing your existing investment well to ensure you aren't bleeding money due to bad tenants, excess maintenance, etc. 

I'd recommend staying within 10-15% of the median priced home because that's where the most demand will be not only for renters but owner occupants as well. 

I would recommend that they invest in an inexpensive 'white noise' machine to help muffle the sound but that no property is completely sound proof and the upstairs tenants are well-aware of their concerns and are respectful.Always 'entertaining,' huh?
