Make sure the lender you choose has a strong background in this type of lending...check them out on Linked In to see their experience level.

You will spend lots of time checking the quality of their work, from TAXES, to the most mundane administrative work of Registered Agent services.

I spent many years managing myself and personally collecting rent checks. 

For lenders, I have access to private money lenders or if you want to go the traditional route, I recommend checking out Coast to Coast - Jeff Weller. 

just double checked my lender is now 80% LTV for short term rentals only 85% for long term rentals

Im not an STR SME - I would check with Mike Savage and Dan Rivers - theyre the local experts on STRs.

You can simply request a separate check for the $100 increase to bring the total deposit in line with the new rent amount.

Had a quick question.I purchased the property for $500K about 10 years agoI'm selling the property for $575K with the Fire DamageI received an insurance check of $380K for the fire damage.After Paying off the Mortgage + Escrow + Realtor Fee's, I'll be left with about $150K.My question is will I get taxed on this $150K?

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

Whether it applies or not it's always a good idea to check with a professional first so thanks for the reply.
