@Teahjsia Frazier - If you're targeting a BRRRR for your next deal I would consider using a combination of your money, private money (friends and family), as well as hard money for the purchase and rehab.

(Mass Govt should be giving experienced landlords (5 years operating with at least one unit at profit as a buy and hold) zero down loans to house these people (in areas they currently live in--so they can stay close to friends and family), and free money to fix up the Brockton type area homes to modern standards inside. 

Between hearing the history here and the feeling of dread in my heart I've had enough at this point but my friend loves this kind of stuff and wants to look around some more, so I leave and go back to the car while he checks it out. 

If their credit sucks, they won't care, and you won't get that money.Share your rental advertisement and ask BP users to review it and give advice based on your market and your marketing.

It has a slightly more vacation-friendly vibe with its arts scene, annual events, and outdoor activities that draw visitors regularly.Since you're targeting STR occupancy over 50% without extreme seasonal dips, you might consider neighborhoods near popular attractions, like Tulsa’s Downtown Arts District or the lake areas nearby, which offer steady, diverse visitor interest.

Do you know that most people have about $1k in their bank accounts and the average american has about $5k in CC debt… You are doing well my friend and time you appreciate yourself for it!  

One of my friends has his securities 7 license and does lots of raises for DST's and other various sources of capital needs  (inventions, business start ups, etc.) 

- Home insurance I heard is higher in FL- More landlord friendly I heardAny and all thoughts, critiques, suggestions, or whatever factors I haven't considered would be much appreciated.

You will not get them to show up to complete the work, you will not recover your funds and you will have to move heaven and earth to make this "right" 1-See if you can settle with the contractor2-File complaints with the BBB (assuming they are registered), file a complaint with the state attorney general3-SueI used to believe there was some sort of over arching justice in the world, but then I got into real estate and became friends with RE attorneys.
