My partner and I have been remolding both of our homes with the goal of making them both rental properties, but the process has been long. 

I'm curious how some of you found your brokers and what the process was like of interviewing? 

It's a unique opportunity to combine my passion for real estate with hospitality, and I'm eager to dive into the process, build a portfolio, and create welcoming spaces that generate both income and experiences.

I took a business course in which he discussed negotiation, and in the process of that, found 2 great parties willing to pay the listed price for what they were asking for in a property/ location/ price/ decor.I actually remodeled in that specific area and rented because as a renter myself, there was nothing in that value / price point so definitely knew it was not ownership bias.

Give them notice that they are not paying their rent in full and unless it is paid in full, they need to move or you will start the eviction process.

First, I went to the lender and asked if we could do a loan modification instead of me shopping around for a new loan that might not be with them at a lower rate and for a modest processing fee they did that.

Hey Sinuway, I'd recommend connecting with a few like minded lenders and realtors who could step you through the pre approval and negotiation process.

They paper push the file into processing to then find out they submitted wrong or it does not fit under a certain program.

(you can get the process started after 60 days) We have the 90 day season rule.

If you have a good screening process that checks all aspects of their background, you'll weed them out through other means.
