Do you provide the login credentials upfront in case the service gets logged out? 

I just bought it in the fall and am trying to complete a bunch of modifications during off-season (e.g. metal roof, certain safety features, treating the deck, possibly updating the fire pit area, etc). 

It seems like location would be especially critical with pad-split (and similar systems), but I’d love to hear your thoughts on what to watch out for in terms of zoning, safety, or demand.Also, I’ve traditionally rented out units the regular way, so I’m curious how screening tenants works for you with the pad-split (and similar) model.

Then there’s fraud or misrepresentation, where borrowers inflate project values or provide false documentation.

There are some public sources (www.city-data.com) that can provide good baseline information.

That is the only update I can provide today.

Fire marshall should have provided something in writing to you either a list of what needs to be done or reference a code.

We look at things like safety, unemployment, schools.

Another cool thing about hard money lenders is they work like a safety net.
