I've had more success gaining the attention of ALE and other companies by having more properties to offer them.

When I asked for a loan, they asked if my business received money in Euros. 

In the last 2 months I was receiving a lot of deals in my email account and I received a "great deal" from a small wholesaler; 2 hours later the same property address showed up in an email from one of the "big wholesale companies" 10k dollars more expensive... the property was gone even before I could call the small wholesaler.I believe both are useful and all of us need to make a living, so I understand their role in this business.

I'll definitely grab Turner's book and hopefully when issues arise it can just be used as a playbook for how to respond.

The rates are high right now but these loans are limited based on cashflow so you cant take a loan that costs more than you're receiving in rental income.

You increase the likelihood that you continue to receive that $8,500 each month. 

If you see someone violating the rules, create a post with "@moderators" and we will receive a notification and respond.Again, welcome to BiggerPockets and happy investing!

Regarding the advice you've received from others, the best thing to do is to learn your market. 

Hi Tod, we use Furnished Finder to gather leads, and once we receive a truly interested lead, we have them complete an application through Buildium, our management software.

Had received an email from this group and spoke with them on the phone yesterday.
