When you prioritize your guests and pay it forward, you’ll often be rewarded in unexpected ways.

From there I told her I was working with the drug task force to shut down the illicit activity in the area and I would personally give her a $500 reward if she identified any of my units that were dealing dope!

This kind of creativity (or a massive pile of cash) is what's needed to "Cash Flow" in the near-term with a Boulder investment, but unless Boulder dramatically reverses course and halts the NIMBYSM that stops new construction in it's tracks, those who hold on for the long-term are likely to be highly rewarded. 

I have basically 1) rewarded poor tenant behavior 2) tenant has no eviction on their record making it more challenging for a LL to determine that the tenant has been paid before and seeing it worked so well is likely to repeat the same $hit.  

It's hard work but very rewarding.

Hi Maria,Finding, evaluating, and securing high-return opportunities in private money lending can be rewarding, especially for beginners.

I'm hoping taxes/insurance aren't part of the loan so that I can put some credit cards to work and leverage rewards etc.Also, I've seen 1st lien Home Equity Loans, but not 1st lien HELOCs; hoping that product exists, at least via credit unions etc. 

It can be very rewarding!

@Alex SilangAs someone who does lending I would lend on a long term rental over a short term rental 10/10 timesA STR is more running a business and always having to stay booked whereas long term rental is more stable.Higher reward available = higher riskBanks do not like risk

Partnerships are definitely possible and can be rewarding, but I would just make sure the relationship is outlined thoroughly and both members are contributing to the deal in some way.
