I haven't heard of Baselane.I'm happy to help if you have any other questions or want to discuss any of this further. 

If you'd like to share our experiences and discuss your next investment strategies, I'd love to connect! 

Your goal is to build a passive real estate portfolio (we can discuss what passive means to you), so while I don't condone throwing $100k into a deal without even a basic understanding, alternatively doing so will teach you far more lessons than reading a book will.  

Hey Jimmy, I'm not a lender but have a few good ones I can connect you with to discuss your options.

I'd be happy to have a call and discuss opportunities in this side of the state.

Quote from @Bob Schulte: I’ve seen plenty of private money lending stories go south, and it’s definitely a topic worth discussing.

PMs can minimize their suffering from unrealistic expectations by showing comparable properties that are on the market for rent and having a discussion with the landlord as to how their property compares and how his property can be more attractive to renters.Landlords are running a business. 

There could be some real interesting back and fourth discussions to be had on the pro's and con's and risk's of these sub $200k houses in the Midwest, but I've been through thousands of tenants at thousands of these 100 year old properties in my career, and I've never been sued for a sidewalk slip and fall.

We want to plan in the most tax vantaged ways (which includes keeping future AGI as low as possible) and open to new-age and creative concepts.Respectfully ask to keep discussion to topic vs. selling one's self or services seeking new business.

Please feel free to reach out for discussion.
