Long term goals in mind that I need a track record and capital for! 

Now the situation has occurred that we need to rent the house out in order to help pay for his long term care expenses. 

As far as timeframe, anywhere from 21-45 days depending on how quick a borrower gets their docs to underwriting, how long the appraisal takes, etc.

LoL So really trying to learn what I can, gain some capital, and see what my options could be for the year.I'd like turnkey and long term renters in place, as that seems like a good way to get started as a rookie. 

What’s the current loan balance and terms with the hard money lender?

That generally means getting paint from someplace like Sherwin Williams and using one of their long-term colors.

I'm familiar with Jeff and the C2C team (i've heard great things) and work primarily with Fernandos team who I love.Right now - all of the padsplit loans I am working on for my clients are underwritten based off long term rental rates.

How long does that take?

Alternatively, DSCR loans offer long-term financing with lower rates, but they come with more complex requirements.
