I like especially when they contact me and arrange an hour slot to just talk/intro ourselves.

At least you are getting  a good education right now on the subject matter, but I would suggest that you spend a lot of time learning your rights and responsibilities so that in the future, you can deal with tenants with a lot more knowledge and confidence - a tenant tried to quote some obscure ruling to me once and I recited the corrected language of the law because I knew it and she could not say anything after that because she was just trying to be a sofa lawyer - trying to quote some **** heard on Judge Judy or something.

@Judy P. and @Jerome Harrod II thanks for the advice.

Hi Judy,I haven't used a prior residence as a rental, but all properties we have purchased as rentals are still titled in our names, so I wouldn't mess with it personally.Yes, you should tell your insurance company, and your premium may go up.  

If you cannot walk into your local bank and credit union and based on your relationship with the bank IE large deposits and I am talking in the multi hundreds of thousands.. or very large incomes I am talking in the multi hundreds of thousands.. and or very long experience level I am talking decades there is NO money at those rates. what there is   is money at 9 to 15% or higher.. once you grasped that concept and folks stop wasting time.. then you just plug those numbers into your deals.Now if your talking about yoru 4 mortgage slots for rentals  that's a whole nother story but if your looking for fix and flip type funding  etc etc.. the niche is the HML in the country and there are a lot of themget a copy of the Scottsman guide there are list there of reputable national HML.

@Kanishk Dayal I agree with @Judy P..  

We booked the first available slot on Saturday - at 10am.

@Judy P. - The showing went really well.

@Judy P. so far I have the seller down to 215k with 11k taxes, but I know I have some more wiggle room with him.
