I wanted to get back in the game again but don’t have much in reserves that most if not all HML require.

Hey @Justin Snead, it’s fairly easy to get your license in your spare time online.

As it stands now, the sweet spot in that area in the market for rent seems to be a little larger 2/2 house with large living area for guests.

Building equity in your house is one of the biggest financial advantages of homeownership.

This is a great place to learn and further investigate investing in real estate.

Then connect with some hard money lenders (you can find some here on BP as well as some who are typing this right now) and connect with them to understand their product type, what they like to lend on and requirements.Hard money broker is all numbers game of making relationships and helping those that are looking for financing, it starts out slow but if you get with a few good borrowers and lenders it can be pretty decent money to be made.As an example we paid six figures last year to HM brokers. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

- Are you needing that $6500 in income?  

If there is more demand than supply, this will be the outcome in desirable areas. 

Mentioning unique perks like 'Game Room,' 'Lake View,' or 'Pet-Friendly' can really draw people in.
