Remote investing is just one way to invest and as many of you seasoned investors know.

The wholesaler created new terms with the tenants and the wholesaler plans to hold it so that the new loan gets seasoned, before selling the note.I opted not to get involved and have started my knowledge building into private lending.

Refi's before a 1031 should consider some seasoning time.
