Have to own both sides!

Road frontage on the front and side road.  

But doesn't have any property advertising, prospective tenant applications/screening, or any of that side of the business. 

I have talked to tons of investors recently and everyone says the Zillows interface is the worst, but it is just a side comment and we keep going on to the next conversation. 

This helps keep me out of hot water with fairhousing. 

House Hacking using the VA loan to live on one side while renting the other is great.2.

Congratulationswhat you’ve found that both the INVESTMENT side of real estate, and theBUSINESS side are very competitive; therefore profit margins are compressed, so those “home runs” people like to bragg about are actually quite rare.  

That said, when there are profits for both sides of the equation (borrowers & lenders), private investors/hard money lenders are more inclined to favor the project.

And you're right, it moves fast when the value-creation chain is created on both sides of the transaction.

I remember working with a friend who inherited his aunt’s home.. he got so caught up in the emotional side of it that he forgot the nuts and bolts..like having a good plan for the renovation budget and timeline.
