It is challenging in the winter months as people tend to focus on the holidays, shopping, dinners, parties, etc.

We syndicated 75%, plus costs of the purchase price and financed the balance with a traditional loan.We shopped around for weeks to find the perfect loan with the best rates and terms.

It amazes me how much random transient travel it gets(bowling tournaments, pawn shop remodels, manufacturing employees, traveling photographers, etc). 

That's why, its best to shop for quality lenders. 

Quote from @Steve Tse: Hi BP, What insurance carriers can you recommend in Texas, as I am shopping around to replace my landlords policy that I currently have with Travelers ?

Financing-  build a relationship with a regional banker, don’t shop for interest rates, start small and build history and loyalty they are your team, Cross collateralize, deposit CD/MM or custodial account with bank for loan, give them monthly updates, nail your deal analysis, do stress tests on your deal analysis-cost/interest rate/deal length/ sale price etc. 12.  

all of the things your talking about are readily available to you with simple google searches etc.PS BP has work shops that cost some money I have not been but I suspect those would be well worth the money..

A broker can shop dozens of providers for you.

So I do want to clarify a few things about how my property is furnished that I assumed was implied, but my potential MTR does have the following: - Washer/Dryer- 75 inch mounted TV - Fridge/Microwave - Kitchen Appliances (silverware, pots/pans, soap dispensers, coffee maker, cutting boards, etc) - Multiple large mirrors on walls, fake plants around the home, living room carpet/coffee table in additon to couch. - Full office with a desk and a deskchar plus filing cabinet. - Bathroom towels, hair dryer, soap, toilettires, etc. - Grill in the backyard.

Also if you work as a leasing broker with JLL, I'd like to buy you some coffee!
