I strongly recommend you talk with Swanny..........He was very instrumental in advice on what to do to find good solid investro focused Realtors in Cleveland before I started investing out there. 

The lender will provide the capital under the terms which you sign for in the promissory note and the lien instrument (mortgage or deed of trust depending on state).

We do provide wifi and a pair of speakers if they want music or to watch Netflix on their laptop or tablet. 

Having a good reserve can hedge the risk to offset some of the risks as well. 3) 50% rule is semi-helpful but not is a blunt instrument.

Rather than 'talk radio' or the news droning on in the background, or music i've heard a 1000 times before, I can just put the podcasts on in the background as I work on the house or mow the yard or watch the moon come up at the backyard fire.

Hey @George Fitz/@Shane Willcox I'm in the area, too (West LA) and although I don't work in TV I own a podcast production company that's focused on music and entertainment...does that count?

At least 3 times a week they would be blasting music until 4 in the morning or even later.
