I laughed and stopped listening to the guru when I realized that you can't just tell people that their money is secured by real estate and that in 2nd position they will ALWAYS get paid.

I decided to put security and doorbell cameras all around the exterior to deter her From repeatedly breaking lease. nothing  what do I do?

It's a duplex that I'll be house hacking.Outside of real estate, I enjoy almost ANYTHING outdoors, when indoors I love movies and board games, I'm dedicated to my volunteer ministry, and I've become fluent in Russian (learning Ukrainian).I also run my own SEO, marketing and web design agency, which I am PASSIONATE about! 

Its not that the operator does not qualify its just the banks by and large do not have that product.. what a lot of bigger players do is use their securities as collateral and pull loans through that avenue and those can be very good rates..

If 1 person gets 2 letters, one sends them to their professional and credible website, that shows how many reviews they have, happy clients, shows how awesome they flip the houses, has 3 blogs is involved with the community and has a tremendous web presence... and the other... nothing...if it were you, which card would you call?

You owe money secured by property; you don’t pay when owed, you lose property.  

We secured the property for $28,000 and sold it for $41,500.

I’ve heard about ‘gap funding’ for fix & flips to cover down/closing/holding costs in addition to the hard money loan for most of the purchase price & rehab, but how realistic is it to secure that type of funding?

For borrowers or investors interested in properties that sellers will not carry or without an assumable loan or accessible reserves, my suggestions would be to try and secure a seller concession towards closings costs or an interest rate buy-down.

As an update though, we did move ahead and were able to secure a 1X close construction loan that automatically converts to a 30-year fixed rate.
