@Elizabeth Colegrove I actually had your podcast recommened by another friend and BP member on Friday.

@Timothy Blackman- thanks  ...get some referrals for lenders from friends / co workers ...contact them all on the same day with the same criteria and ask them any questions you have and  ask for some scenarios ...compare the  feedback and service they provide ...pick one lender to get pre approved with ,,once you have a property - contact all lenders again for pricing options for the actual loan you will need ...hopefully the lender you chose for pre approval will be competitive in their pricing ..good luck

They can live in the unit, stay at a friends or family members, or rent a hotel themselves.

@Brian Scott, first I want to know who these friends are.  

We have frequently had this problem.

However, I have received an offer on my property from a very good and trustworthy friend that I have agreed to accept.

It is typically your primary job.The 40 hr/week W-2 worker is going to have a hard time convincing an IRS agent they are meeting this threshold.STR loophole is a better path for my friends in this category.Once you finally cross the pro hurdle, you're not done!

Title companies are another great resource. investor friendly title companies work with investors daily.

With Morganton’s growing population, influx of major corporations like Tyson Foods, and frequent visitors traveling to and from the mountains, this property is perfectly positioned for long-term growth and profitability.
