Should I just bite the bullet and take out a loan to satisfy him, or should I look into the more expensive route of hard money?

Now I know that I’ve rambled a bit here but I agree that a Inter Vivos Land Trust is not bullet proof but it’ll deter most problems.But by far talk with your attorney they should be able to provide you with an asset protection plan that is full proof and if they can’t find another.

I think most landlords who only own 1 sfh never intended to be landlords or investors. most of those ended up with the property either through family or buying a new place and not being able to get rid of the old one so they rented it out. if you do manage to find any that are investors you may need to change the sales pitch, first theres 2 things that annoy most people1) cold calling ..better be careful with that one since the laws changed, i have all of my numbers on the national do not call list and violators can be sued2) door to door sales....ummm yeh..again careful with that too depending on your state laws you could end up with some bullet holesif you decide to make a few calls, make em to places with more than 1 rental ad, those tend to be your investor typenext, business minded people want the facts, how can you help THEM, how will you put money in their pocket?

That would be funny.But I'll probably take @Paul Timmins advice and bite the bullet and not piss them off in case I do eventually do business in that town.

Ive noticed in one of you bullet topics you listed property managers.

You can also choose to just perform the dust swipe test and leave it at that if it passes (the swipes should pass unless you have areas of peeling lead paint in which case you should bite the bullet and fix this).

Account Closed DOS being reversed...like Oh, ok we wont call the loan due.DOS isnt a bullet and a trigger, its a choice.

Lots of discussion about bullet proofing rentals and what flooring holds up best (hint: the IRS assumes flooring lasts five years, I've been told judges here in CO assume carpet lasts three, so if the place has carpet, plan on replacing it every few years.)I think you're thinking that because its a nicer rental that you will have less issues with tenants.

While they are making loan payments and sweating bullets, you are making deposits and going fishing.Think outside of the box.

My husband wants to evict him on those grounds, but yea, I hear you all, sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet and be the adult and not get dragged into the drama.
