We decided to diversify in a few ways...given as a Broker Owner we only controlled TWO things, our roster and more effectively monetization of ALL our transactions.  

It was an effective tool for isolating old houses in a neighborhood of new builds in a very high-value neighborhood in Dallas and plotting all that onto google maps.

However, for the strategy to be effective, clients must ensure that they meet all the IRS requirements, such as maintaining the short-term rental for a sufficiently long period and passing one of the material participation tests (e.g., 100+ hours of active participation).2.

My fault for not checking and assuming FTF would select borrowers with higher credit scores. 

The Series name should include something to the effect of ", a series of [Parent LLC]". 

And as the economy of those cities evolved and started going down, it had a domino effect on rest of the ecosystem. 

effectively, you'd either need to look for a lender that would let you use the other property as collateral (cross) so that you can avoid actually taking the cash-out (this is rare in terms of institutional DSCR lenders, but fairly common in the hard money or private money space)...

Lenders who offer this might be more selective or charge higher interest rates and fees to compensate for the increased risk.

If not, well you know the old saying, "the best time to get a lead paint certificate for your units was last year; the second best time is now".I've been told that the RI DOH may not start hitting people with fines for failure to register on October 1 as the law allows them to, due to the insufficient # of inspectors in the state to meet the demand.However, I've also been told that the other part of the law, the one that makes it so you cannot file for an eviction in RI without a current lead paint certificate, is expected to take effect sharply on October 1st.For anyone who hasn't submitted their properties/units to the new registry, I have a 15-page guide (with screenshots) that walks you through it.

Feel free to simply vote; or, explain your selection.
