We have helped several businesses open up using a Tiny Home to fit their business needs along with the City of St Louis with their homeless project.

Although things will change this year, between HELOCs, 1031 Exchanges, and a Business Partnership, I'm up to 15 doors (including my personal residence) and I haven't done a down payment since 2015.

That is a very dishonest way to operate your business, and will get you a bad reputation and lose you money.

Most importantly, understand the difference between a business purpose and consumer purpose loan.Read my post in this thread, which details our process in actionable terms.

But, primarily my main business is remodel work. 

can handle the PM but you have to work together and run it like a business.

Thus creating a monopoly that I don't know how to get out of.I've worked years in this industry from the PM-end and never seen anyone try to bill a percentage off the security deposit and, though a little digging is showing me it CAN be done, it seems like bad business.

This attempt to drum up business should be in the classifieds section.

Does anyone have any ideas for some investing related side work or know of any investors that need some remote help with their business?

In all seriousness, if this is the start of a budding STR business for you, your parents should understand.
