Typically this means they will take longer to close, may not have all the information for the companies they work with, and most hard money brokers get their money by taking an existing product and adding extra points to pay their fee.What is your investor success rate?

While you are willing to work with them, they are apparently happy to live rent free and don't seem to care about you.I had a long term tenant (5 years) who stopped paying the rent.

The term "reasonable" is going to be redefined.

@Stan MendozaRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Typically, a rating of A- or better is a very strong company.

Rent out one side, either Long term, Short term or Mid-Term.  

Thank you Nick - unfortunately it is the name of the game in this space that there will be people with bad experiences, typically when the appraised value doesn't come in as what they expect and they lash out at the lender accordingly (anyone in this space obviously understands this occurrence). 

Partial notes are just a partial note in the loan's yield (not the loan itself) and in most cases, a second position on the loan (both upside and downside) by contract terms with Aloha. 

Real estate investing can be an effective way to build long-term wealth, and among the various strategies, one has gained significant popularity over the years: BRRRR.

If you plan to live there in the winters, you might have a hard time doing long term rental outside of that and finding a new tenant every summer.
