Folks - John Thedford asked how to locate deals -- this thread is not a solicitation for people to promote deals or opportunities.

Looking for a long standing company to use, does anyone have experience with rentecdirect.com that would promote or demote the program.

Never pay more than your mortgage payment - at least thats my belief when it comes to investing.

Rates range from 18% and 10 points (from a guy who lends on the deals that no one else will do) to 10% and 1. 10 and 1 is a private guy who has a small amount of money and only lends to people he knows, but promotes himself as a hard money lender.

My belief in life is, if you can't do something good, you aren't any good.

That was a great rehab, and a great job with the promotional video!

The people who claim something does exist should provide the evidence to support such a belief.

I now have my 3rd, also an FHA loan on a sfh in Bend, Oregon, but I no longer live in it and I am renting it out as my job promotion has taken me to Eugene, Oregon.

I found these videos from CrowdCheck's site yesterday and they're some of the best material I have found on the net about the tradeoffs and balancing that is going on with the current rules.Title III Decoded: A Closer Look at the Proposed SEC RulesWatch the Second Annual CrowdCheck ConferenceCo-founder Brian Knight speaks on crowdfunding panel at UVA School of BusinessThere is some great discussion on these videos if you invest some time watching them.I haven't found a lot of discussion or commentary on how promoters indemnify themselves.

I've tried promotions during winter months when it's harder to find renters, but without much interest.
