We’ve worked together for about 2 years now, and he is focused on the operations side of the business.There are many solid sponsors and operators in this asset class, some newer than us, and some older – and quite a bit of new money coming into this space (part of this is where we are in the market cycle, and other asset classes being overpriced like apartment buildings).I’ve personally had several conversations with @Jefferson Lilly (and met him at a conference), and he knows the space well.

Arron, I am using RentRedi - super easy to set up and the money goes right to my account; I love it.

You might save a full percent just doing that and you have tons of money you didn’t pay in points.

Investment Info:Single-family residence private money loan investment.

Offer to be the guy that restores the old family property to it's former glory and all....Still it'll be hard to not look greedy because you do want to make money after all.....main thing to me is being super PATIENT.

However, if you could buy a 5-bedroom home and rent out four of the bedrooms, then it's probably worth the trouble.

I was mislead and should seek mediation to recover some or all of the earnest/hand/deposit money?

my condolences on your recent lost.there are a few ways you can do this, as mentioned above you can take a heloc on your primary residence which will give you a second mortgage, first mortgage payment wont be impacted. you can do cash out refinance which will give you one mortgage and payment. it will pay the old mortgage and give you money in your pocket to pay for the rehab.or you can do a renovation refinance which is similar to cash out refinance but we would contractor involved  as part of the refinancing and they are paid through the loan

Had to spend additional money to get everything fixed.  

And I used all my rental mailbox money over the last 9 years since I first started investing to buy more and more.
