I also have no problem doing some sweat work to build equity in the beginning as well.

I have opportunity to buy a small portfolio of performing commercial notes with LTV's less than 50%.  

No, we don't.

Quote from @Erick Pena: Hi everyone,I’m new to real estate investing and just finished reading Brandon’s book on investing with no money down.

If you control how they perform tasks, set their hours, or provide tools, they should likely be a W-2 employee, requiring you to withhold taxes and comply with payroll regulations.

The utility company missed an appointment and no communication from them or action to even reschedule.

Also, check to see if you can find lenders with low or no closing costs.Curious—what’s the partnership you’re looking at?

As the market evolves we've intensified our commitment to helping investors focus only on listings that are eligible for vacation rental usages and either; have exceptional existing production or high potential for rental performance.

Would like confirmation on that though.For Solara, there seems to be no restrictions but a lot of houses for sale. 

Keep in mind, you should have already had a conversation with the hard money Lender to know their terms and process, and be ready to perform.
