@Brian GarrettGotcha, understandable We haven’t ruled out flips just yet, just trying to see what other ways may be out there, or if 20-30k would be sufficient depending on the market for a flip.

@Kristopher Toribio the other thing I forgot to mention on the FHA loans that comes up a lot is the "self sufficiency" guidelines.

I was amazed at how well it works,” said Webb, whose rental rates range from $99 to $225 a night.During peak season, Airbnb hosts tend to raise their rates much like hotels do.Lupita Johnston, who’s been hosting since 2014, charges $300 a night during the gem show — more than double her usual $120 rate — but her guests don’t mind, she said.For roughly the cost of two queen beds at a four-star hotel during the gem show, Johnston’s guests get a 2,000-square-foot west-side house filled with art and antiques, with mountain views and sleeping space for nine people.Visitors come from around the globe, she said, rhyming off a list: “Panama, Holland, Germany, India, Japan, Finland, Denmark and all over the United States.

I also don't give money to women street beggars with babies that may or may not have been given alcohol or heroin to shut up and sleep quietly for hours in the cold and the wet on their laps.

Nobody will do a better job than someone in the family, and the money stays in the family.My cleaning lady does the work for free, plus I get to sleep with her.

Without the existing key, the tool is not sufficient for getting in. 

I think the main idea of my post is that banks don't typically lend to businesses without sufficient assets and business operations - likewise, banks typically don't lend to individuals without income and credit.

Hi Dominique, I often find myself analyzing deals in the middle of the night when I can't sleep, so I know the feeling.

I was just wondering whether most investors find the deals first, get it under contract, and then find funding, or if they find funding first and then find the deal to get under contract.So far I've had a few other potential JV deals approach me and it seems like most people are getting deals under contract first and then reaching out for funding, but I'm wondering what happens if the investor has a deal under contract but fails to find sufficient funding for the project.

Keep things the way they are now and with all new tenants.Send out the proper notices allowing yourself sufficient time to replace tenants that for what ever reason choose to move.
