The lender did not use a servicing company, and the pay history is being contested (which should be easy to prove)2.

@Kevin Waymire - the renewal one is easy. 

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

If they were only there a month you could re-rent easy with little to no turnover renovation.

I want to hear some stories on how other people got started and how easy/difficult it was.

It's was so easy for me getting started to get shiny object sindrome instead of locking in ONE STRATEGY, ONE NEIGHBORHOOD, ONE PROPERTY TYPE, ONE RENOVATION TYPE, etc. 

@Tiffany Palaskas pretty easy answer - where can you BEAT what you have in WA with something you buy in TN?

But of coruse, getting private lenders isn't exactly easy.

So, if you have 10 units and you are going to pay $1,500 a month and you are working on an active income job, too, this is an easy switch due to the labor mentally and physically (even if it is just phone calls) to get these rentals running as a well-oiled machine.  

Whichever party makes the note payments must provide evidence of such payment to the other party in a timely manner. 5.
