Personally, I do not like any strategy or approach that aims to benefit from the misfortune of others.

Conventional would allow you to add a fence or do yard work in your bid.I cannot lend to you personally in MA but happy to answer any general questions about the 203k or other Renovation loan programs!

I haven't personally dealt with any crazy insurance premiums such as the ones people have been advertising in like Tampa, FL.

Hi Aaron,It's always challenging when companies go through transitions like this, especially when it involves something as personal and critical as managing retirement accounts.

To answer your question directly: a person should apply (whatever that means in your process) before being asked to screen.

It actually says “Loans to Partner (or persons related to Partners)”.

I personally am interested in creating a long-term rental portfolio but I'd be interested in hearing any strategy, ie. house flipping, short term rentals etc.

This is a very personal question that is difficult to answer. 

.✅ More Control – You’ll personally handle tenant screening, rent collection, and property upkeep, ensuring everything is done to your standards.✅ Stronger Tenant Relationships – Being involved directly allows you to build rapport with your tenants, which can lead to better communication and longer leases.Cons of Self-Managing❌ Time-Consuming – Dealing with maintenance requests, late-night emergencies, and tenant disputes can quickly become a second job.❌ Legal Risks – Chicago has strict landlord-tenant laws.

Personally I prefer single family homes around that median price because that's where the most demand will be not only for owner occupants but renters as well.
