I enjoy teaching BP members how to use the system to save more money by using programs and taking advantage of loopholes.

If you want a program that has everything Ive heard rentredi is pretty good.

Planned energy-efficient HVAC installations will replace outdated ceramic heaters, reducing tenant utility costs, lowering insurance premiums, and qualifying for utility reimbursement programs—a win-win for tenants and investors alike.Inflation HedgeReal estate is historically a strong hedge against inflation.

I'm not sure if the program is still going on, but has definitely revitalized a lot of the area when it was once destined to follow the way of other older cities that are aging out of existence both in terms of people and property. 

It could be helpful to you (lenders will want to see lease agreements) and it is good for the family member (they actually could do a program where them paying rent increases credit). 

Look into Illinois first-time buyer programs for potential grants, and think about leveraging business credit once you’re established.Good luck!

I'm considering partnering with a non-profit that would manage the sober-living program; with me just providing the house passively for rent on a per bed basis. 

Most institutional DSCR lenders prefer one lease per property/unit, however, I've seen programs allowing rent by room strategies.

If a mortgage has a deed restriction, not allowing short-term rentals that is not imposed by an hoa or a city government how hard is it to get it removed?

Lender A is $500 cheaper in lender fees because they dont pay for some program or staff who, among other things, doublechecks info inputs and documents for accuracy.
