STR is a fun one- you'll get to have some fun and get creative with your product.

It opened doors to new markets for agricultural products such as cotton, sugar, and grains, laying the foundation for prosperous farming and trade economies across the newly acquired territories.Investors keen on infrastructure development saw potential in establishing trade routes, settlements, and towns that would eventually grow into thriving cities.

`I remember seeing the materials he was giving out as templates in one of his first note camps and it looked so amateur-ish it completely turned me off to his info products.

Being able to see their pricing and occupancy along with the product they are selling is more "apples to apples" and gives me an idea of what I have to do to compete. 

The good news is that you can still acquire this 4plex relatively cheaply with only 5% down using a conventional Fannie product.

I have gone down the path of painting a few times and it is quite labor intense and with that not cheap, it has to bone REALLY well - prep-work, primer, coat finish, the right products etc otherwise you get crap results.

It just so happens that this product I'm not giving away for free.

Plenty of cash flow for any errors.Even our product mix and locations we do risk management up front.  

I was wondering if anyone knows of loan products out there that are beginning to look at or accept this income for DSCR?
