I wouldn't think it would take a private lender (which is much higher priced) than a typical mortgage broker's rates.Is there a reason you think you need a private lender?  

I think Brett has a Facebook group, let's keep in touch there.

How do you think that ended?

I would consider them to be more of a consultancy than a turnkey provider, and as such I think they provide tremendous value.Of course I could do all the legwork from scratch - research markets and properties, find lenders, get home inspectors and insurance and property managers and so forth - but RTR has already done all that and has far more experience and knowledge than I do.

Think about an HVAC, storm damage, paying for housing if a tree falls on the roof, dealing with stupid insurance companies, etc.

The picture makes me think of a "mini" hotel or some type of destination/STR property. 

I still think it is a good area to invest in despite the increases in cost.  

I think this group of investors will be more than helpful. 

I honestly think that will be the #1 delay to things.

I am thinking about that in another way, related to my HSA.
