Meaning are there states that are less friendly to lender / note owners?

Have you attended any events from this group: https://www.meetup.com/annapolis-baltimore-real-estate-inves...I have friends that attend similar meetings with REA groups in other markets and say it's really useful.

I just use Ring.

Look at purchase HUDS, statement of work if it was a renovation and the sale HUD to make sure they made money on the deal.An organized and easy to navigate borrower's package.Security documents to collateralize the loan against real, tangible property.I loaned $60K to some “friends from church” for a flip they were doing about 8 years ago.

Hello Taylor,           I have been in a situation and done deals where a friend is a realtor and although I found the deal, had to go through my friend as I already worked out an arrangement. 

Prepare for the journey by partnering with an investor-friendly agent.Good luck!

Hi All,Have a friend who’s mom had a stroke and has been in care for the last appx 2 years.

Keep them updated to reflect seasonal decor or recent upgrades.Offer High-Impact Amenities: Small touches like a coffee maker, fast WiFi, or a thoughtful welcome gift can transform a stay into a memorable experience.Stay Communicative and Proactive: Prompt, friendly communication makes guests feel valued.

At a high level, this is generally the path people take - we see a lot of people have success in this route - start building the portfolio with banks, low down payments, and then **generally** when you hit around 5 or so properties - it starts to make sense to switch over to LLCs, its too hard to qualify/deal with paperwork of banks and switch towards private lenders like DSCR Loans - (LLC friendly, easier) to scale past 5 or so.
