Quote from @Chris Seveney: Over the past quarter, I have seen around $1B in defaulted fix and flip loans - many of these from new lenders since 2020 and more of a "tech platform".As we all know, the intersection of tech and real estate investing has brought incredible innovation, especially in hard money lending.

If they don't, then you file a claim and hope the insurance company squeezes the money from the tenant.Get rid of this tenant.

That’s great advice Taz, I’m currently working on saving enough money to get started, house hacking is hard for me at the moment because I just bought a house 2 years ago, I would have to sell my house(which is in a great neighborhood great location) and use that money to fund the duplex which isn’t totally out of the question, I would like to keep the house if possible but also would like to get real estate investing more.

Just ask the owner what are you going to do with the money if you sell for cash??

Reading thru Vail Resorts annual report the other day and looks like they loose money.

I've already paid for an appraisal and the earnest money is recoverable.Thanks BP family! 

These small conveniences can save you time and money in the long run.For rent collection, you can try Rent.app, which is easy for tenants to use and keeps everything streamlined.

How do you become a broker for hard money lending? 

You can use seller financing, or you can use hard or private money.
