Shopping around is always highly recommended. 

A young guy I know bought a cute vintage camper, sprayed it black, cut a window in the side and built it out as a mobile coffee shop, which is now parked outside of events and staffed with college girls.

My point in bringing up the fact he continued paying is because he said to me in response to my letter stating he owes the difference in damages above the security deposit amount that he has nothing to do with her anymore, except it wasn't true because he still would write checks directly to me to cover her rent.2.

That is just to good to be true.

@Jack Mi: my first impression is anyone that is buying a deal at a 4.5% going-in cap rate with 7% interest rate is anything by conservative.Now, there are so many details missing that it is impossible to give any true thoughts.The things I like:No up front fees, so less motivation to simply transact10% Co-invest is pretty good80/20 (assuming there is no second hurdle) is fairly good.Things that give me pause, based on what is actually presented:Going-in cap rate is very slim.  

But figuring out your strategy whether its LTR, MTR, or STR I would focus on proximity to the university and other attractions of Waco, as they say... location, location, location, it's still very true. 

I have funded 7 deals for this Partner like I said since Feb he will make about 200k that he could no way have made without a TRUE capital partner.. a traditional HML simply cannot do what we do..

It's likely to keep getting eliminated in areas and while a good business for true business people who care about the people, 99 percent are just out for a small check and fail fast.

If it seems to be good to be true, it is. 

In the spirit of "I've finally resigned myself to the fact that AppFolio has me by the balls and I'm trying to do everything that we can directly in AppFolio" I'm embarking on a journey to set up inventory management in our shop storage racks and managed in AppFolio.
