We are on the final stretch in getting a debt fund established; and look forward to the increased liquidity it will allow us to pull in. 

I want to use my expertise for my father and stretch the dollars to make additional changes like new front door, adding metal awning, and generally improve the street appeal.

We really stretched ourselves thin. we did not perform our own inspections because we were busy raising finances .. and our agent insisted we use the same company who did the initial inspections to “get a report in our name” .. we went for visual inspection with our agent and found the master bathtub was  upside down — they said there was a chip and seller was fixing the tub.

then a long stretch of consistency. i have built up a little portfolio that i'm happy with, and while I don't have life changing cashflow, my tenants pay my mortgages down by several thousand dollars each month. 

A stretch to say you are presenting a useful alternative.What truly triggered my response was the notion that it was proper for nursing home/assisted living affiliates to have a preferred network of investors, much less that they would use billing and time pressure to steer their prospective patients there.

HOWEVER, real estate brokers are profited from engaging in the advertising and marketing of a property in which the person advertising or marketing is not the titled owner, merely holds a contractural interest, under a theory that doing so \is a violation of agency rules and laws.First, the interpretation that the above is a violation of agency seems to be a stretch and ripe for legal action.  

I may also need to take out a small loan/line of credit to complete the house, depending on how far my money stretches. 

So I dont see it being a super big stretch personally.. but I am not  a big SFR landlord so I dont follow it a ton..
