-Should I get an inspector that is very familiar with FHA loans to help me decide what needs to be done in the rehab/remodel process so it will finance FHA?

My thought process is, if I could come up with $800k on a refinance, I could come in on a cash offer on the hotel for sale and get a much better deal.

If your property is damaged or even if you think it is, start the claim process now.

We do have a meeting with a local broker/real estate agent next week but thought it would be best to jump on line and take a look at some local properties and if nothing else practice our valuation process.

Some of the low eviction rate is the cumbersome and costly process.  

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.

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.

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.
