Is there any requirement as to how frequent I need to occupy my property?

I like Matt Faircloth's youtube channel - he is a frequent contributor here, and has some great videos that are easy to watch and very informative.

Check the Get Rich Education Podcast, there is a lender that frequents the show named "Chalee" something (that is 100% spelled incorrectly). 

I have found a lot of potential properties around a new casino in my area.

But they would not, in a million years, consider moving to the Midwest even though they frequently visit for outdoor activities/road trips.

Irony of ironies that folks using hard money loans are paying for their own possible foreclosure, but this is also the reason that frequent repeat customers of a hard money lender typically pay less in points as the relationship progresses.

I own property in south Texas, and don't have friends or family there, but we visit there frequently so have learned a lot about that market.

It's the flip period, when you have to travel to the property frequently, that will be difficult.

I think most lines of credit won't have an amortization schedule, because they are meant for frequent smaller purchases, I have no clue about the rate though.

Couldn't have said it any better than @Whitney HillI pull together this type of deal frequently.
