This season often poses challenges in attracting tenants.

Building a real estate portfolio might be attractive, but if you're crunched for time, perhaps you could do private lending in a SDIRA or get into syndications.

I need to source the data myself, run the numbers, check the calculations, eventually build my own custom spreadsheet etc. 

Many commercial leases have custom clauses. 

People staying for 30-90 days are a completely different customers than someone in a years lease. 

There are times when we see deals on the table that won't produce any cashflow or not enough cashflow to meet our target hurdle rate but the tax benefits or appreciation potential may make the deal attractive. 

Seems like “Vegas” attracts the less than honest hustlers  

And a general contractor would NEVER sign a customers contract 

They were fine with my score (about 740), but have issue with the percentage of personal credit I am utilizing, so that discussion also petered out.Apparently, I have a lending profile right now, that is not attractive to mainstream lending programs.Any advice?

A 4-bed, 3-bath rambler with a large lot in a high-demand area is bound to attract buyers.
