Before signing a lease agreement, conducting a thorough screening process can help mitigate potential risks and ensure you're selecting reliable tenants.

Put differently, I'm assuming some of the best GPs/Operators don't bother marketing and already have a reliable group of investors to turn to.

Or in other words, they can close as reliably and quickly as a cash buyer. - The next tier of lender qualification is a formal loan commitment.

This can mean more reliable tenants who are willing to pay higher rents and take better care of the property.**5.

I'm looking to connect with experienced investors, realtors specializing in investor purchases, and reliable property management companies.I'm also open to discussing neighborhoods and real estate tax strategies.Let's chat!

So the history shows a stead growth that has been reliable until outliers like the pandemic caused crazy home price increase.These graphs are based on home sales.

A Creative Finance Lawsuit can be brought by the Attorney General, the DOJ, FDIC, and on and on among others because it involves banks, wire transfers, possible fraud, possible identity theft, possible equity skimming, possible violations of the Consumer Protection Act, Dodd-Frank, ACT S.A.F.E.

Some things that might be a concern:1) Obviously have to make sure things are all permitted first2) I don't want the room to "feel" like an addition, so flooring has to be same level/standardized with the rest of the house3) Unlike the rest of the house that has an identically-shaped 2200sqft basement underneath, this added space will not have a basement directly underneath it -- I'm not sure if this poses major cons for some reason that I'm not aware of4) Especially given the lack of basement underneath, I have to make sure that the HVAC can still somehow be piped into this room#2 and #3 are probably my biggest concerns (#1 and #4 I can find out relatively easily)Any tips/thoughts or other experience would be greatly appreciated. 

Smaller local markets are harder to nail down accurate ARVs and find reliable trade labor.Regarding managing general contractors, I've heard some horror stories from our owners who have worked with GCs they've never met.
