The fear of renting while out of town is common, but it's easy to overcome, especially when you have friends and a handyman.

10 year (the common benchmark for CRE loans) just keeps climbing.

I am a voice of common sense and help them come up with the best way to manage STRs.

It’s a common practice and I’ve never had any opposition to this provision.If you don’t have an operating company, you could get into contract in your own name and then assign it.  

I’m looking for mentorship from other investors in this forum to help me identify deals, help avoid common pitfalls and learn from failures. 

@Brian Dolbeare This is a "it depends" question for sure, but in most cases street parking is pretty common here.

Another example is that with a tax auction it is common for all the interested parties to not be notified 100% correctly meaning they could in theory come back later and try to reverse the sale and take the property back!

Typically people think FHA because it's what's thought of as the least amount down which is commonly the goal when we all get started.

On the other hand, you might find a common reason that a few of your potential investors are not investing that might change your own thoughts on the deal.

I’ve never had this specific issue but mistakes like this are pretty common.
