We met ALL of the criteria for our private money lenders being 'Friends & Family' and they all have agreed to receive email communications from us.

BTW, I have a 2 decade long Facebook profile and hundreds of "friends" something you don't usually see with scammers (new profiles created with very few friends).  

And the rules are also very landlord-friendly. 

Make sure your listing is well optimized you can also do a little tweaking to your listing daily to get on the algorithm, make sure your photos are eye catching and well arranged, you can send out your link to friends and families and ask them to add it to their wishlist.In terms of pricing you always want to start low to get some bookings and ratings then slowly increase your price.I wish you the best in your business.

Has anyone heard of a bank that is friendly to Self Directed IRAs and offers interest.I had Titan (have checkbook control as well) and switched as like you said, they don’t pay interest.

If you have a 6 bedroom in an area that does not have a university (students looking for shared space) or is in a family friendly place it may sit vacant longer between tenants.For Capex, try not to use a generic number - look at the roof, furnace, hot water tank, kitchen - when will each need to be done and what will it cost?

Love that you are coming to the market to interface here, nothing can substitute it in my mind.  

A close friend of mine worked with a client who snagged a few acres just outside of town near the North Platte River.. it didn’t show up on the usual listings, but popped up through a local contact who’d been hinting at a seller looking to keep things quiet.You mentioned it’ll be a three-year timeline.. that’s actually not a bad window.

It sounds like you are saying you want to buy the house and room hack by renting a room to your friend?
