Looks like they are not transparent about who they are or how they operate.

They'd be a partner and help provide solutions to operational challenges when scaling, we'd bring tech in like Breezeway for scheduling, give them a company card with spend limits to buy supplies, they even ended up landing a deal with a local laundromat to wash and fold there after-hours to make their lives and ours easier.Truly a win-win. 

It's a great question because it may be difficult to find these operators since they can't advertise their deals.I'm looking forward to seeing who comes up on your listThanks for the questionGino

In running the numbers I’m making assumptions about many operating expenses.

Once all three units are operational, you’ll have three income streams to support your expenses.Evaluating if it’s a Good Deal:Cash-on-Cash Return: After figuring out your total investment (down payment + repair costs + holding costs), calculate your net annual cash flow (rental income minus expenses like mortgage, repairs, insurance, etc.).

Ok here is the thing Darnell, for private lending we weight ~40% on the property "deal" itself, and 60% on the Operator themself; if they know what there doing, can they pull it off, do they have the "chops" for it, are they contingency ready, etc etc.. 

Hi Samuel,When considering how to pay off a loan faster, both methods you've mentioned—making a large principal payment at the end of each year versus bi-weekly payments—can be effective, but they operate differently.Large Principal Payments: Making a large payment once a year can significantly reduce your principal, leading to lower interest costs over the life of the loan.

If the opportunities are limited and cash is plentiful, pay down debt, increase rents and make everything operate better.
