I’ve had great experience with private landlords in the past, and have found fellow pet lovers that didn’t charge pet rent, or accepted my larger dog (when he was alive) to live in an apartment without hassle.

In my experience, financing fix and flips can be challenging if you do not have a solid insurance company.

These are very risk gambles that should only be attempted with money you don't really care about.  

However, that’s been my same experience with off market deals as well. 

In my experience, late payers often become non payers; so, I stick with the practice above.

I'd also learn a lot about maintenance and managing tenants.Then, with my hands-on experience, I could decide if I wanted to repeat the process or target 5+ units - which my experience would help with lenders.Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

I’d love to connect with real estate investors and learn more about your needs and experiences with financing.

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

@Garrett Brown Thanks for taking the time to share your insights and experience with a similar situation.

@Otis ClaytonFrom my experience, successful real estate partnerships start with clear roles, goals, and financial contributions, along with a defined decision-making process and exit strategy.
