You're feeding 2 dogs with one biscuit by taking care of your living expenses and generating rental income at the same time, and by living in the house and keeping it to 4, you generally get exemptions on things that might bother you to live with (IE you can choose whomever you want as your tenants without running afoul of fair housing laws).

I don’t mind having skin in the game either, but I know using private money is key to scaling one day and would like to get some experience with it now, even if it doesn’t fund a majority of the deal. 

I do not find your complain about getting on their marketing list fair.

I am sure they are a good company that offers some great options but in all fairness if you are not using all of the banks and lenders in the US how can you say your are providing a customer with the best finance option?

I hope you don’t have friction with your partner because the money got ahead of the work.I’ve had some success hiring workers for the day at the prices the gcs pay them $100-200 but have had my fair share of misses here too.

Calculating these losses involves documenting the fair market value of the property before and after the disaster, adjusted for any insurance or other reimbursements.

Do you think that is fair - to be forced to pay for your manager's mistake?

Keep in mind that while there is an exemption to the Fair Housing Act.....most states that have a state level Fair housing law do not typically provide the same exemptions as the national law.

It's lower than 1.5%, sometimes I price deals out conventional & DSCR, DSCR beats conventional pricing a fair amount of the time.The only catch is the prepayment penalty on a DSCR loan.

Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.
