But as soon as you make a direct booking site and start an escrow account (among other things) you then cross that legal boundary between a co-host and a property manager needing a broker license (depending on your state).We CO-HOST for others and remain separated from those legal parameters that would consider us a property manager.

We’ve since implemented stricter due diligence practices, like deeper tenant screening, verifying payment histories, and cross-checking financials with third-party records.

With broad, high-level criteria, you may be able to easily cross of a number of neighborhoods where the numbers simply do not make sense (assuming you already have your buy box nailed down).

Fingers crossed! 

I know in business that every dollar counts but is it worth it to burn a relationship? 

The size of the house is 3500 sqft, single story, and only a 4/3, and rather small at that BR/BA count for the neighborhood. 

I do have my VA disability as my "job" income and I hear that lenders will count that at 1.25% for calculating DTI since it's tax free.

Bank will use cross collateralization from other property for no downpayment.Using a cap rate of 8% since this will be primarily cargo containers.  

I do think that the cross over involvement could lead to some assets or funds being garnished from the other businesses for investors that lost money in norada capital management because of this. 

What counts most in RE are relationships, and this is as easy as going to RE meetups and adding every day just 1 new contact in your CRM, and following up every other month.
