Quote from @Chris Seveney: For those experienced in private lending: This question was posed to me in my membership group from an investor:What strategies have been most effective for scaling your loan volume to $5M+ per month?

The only approach I’ve found effective is offering a deposit alternative, which lowers upfront costs for tenants without devaluing your property.

Point is the above comments there are many other more effective ways to meet the FINCEN stated objectives for tax evasion, money laundering and terrorism.   

These are two entirely different worlds that need two completely different skill sets to effectively manage.

You also will still need to manage your property manager  - ie, stay on top of expenses, ensuring your property is being managed effectively etc. 

Stessa is not perfect but I like the capability, love the %5 interest rate on my associate account and have found the support honest and effective.  

That means there is not really an effect on the debt to income ratio neither positive (income) or negative (loss) but rather simply making that payment  non issue. 

The Retainer Fee is credited towards whatever they buy from us in the 90 days, so in effect, costs them nothing.Note: we're not doing this to make money, but to avoid the time-wasters.

Maintaining a financial track record for your project is facilitated by effective budgeting.3.

Does anyone have any advice on effectively setting up temporary battery-operated cameras on a long-term rental property to deter break-ins and squatters while rent-ready repairs are being made before a tenant moves in?
