Quote from @Anthony Stephenson: Is Raisemasters more for rehabbers wanting more/cheaper access to money OR is is geared more towards those wanting to build a lending business? 

In order to have checkbook control, the IRA account will need to be at a trust company that will allow the IRA to invest in an LLC (where you will be the manager and your IRA will be member - an as manager you will have checkbook access to the LLC bank account).

If you have access to some money you can increase your equity in one jump.

We recommend that you check reviews of the lender; Ask for references; If the lender is advertising something that is outside the normal metrics for the industry it is likely a bait and switch. 

My business has access to AppFolio, but it doesn't seem to communicate with the STR side of things. 

How do you advertise your vacant units?

She does NO advertising at all not one dime is spent on marketing.

A “30 minute phone consultation” is heavily advertised with their package offerings, but it was a struggle to get them to agree to a phone call once we were engaged.

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.
