Quote from @Leslie L Meneus: Building Connections & Looking for Guidance in Real EstateHi everyone!

I'm also a licensed Realtor who helps investors find investment properties and I have specific guidance on what makes a great MTR. 

And don’t overthink—your first deal doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to get you in the game.You’ve already taken a big step by asking for guidance, so keep that curiosity alive and stay consistent —let’s crush it!

I’ve been involved in real estate investing for over 30 years, so if you ever have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out.

I think hard money lender to take this risk cannot legally charge appropriately which means the law is working against you (the law meant to protect owner occupied owners from unfair loans).I agree with @Jay Hinrichs that your best option likely is to sell on the mls.  

The nuances in state regulations require an expert who understands how to expedite the process within the legal framework.

I'm still new to all of this and seeking any information or guidance anyone is willing to provide!
