I have a C-Corp (no assets) as the Prop Manager  to manage leasing and rental collection for all 4 LTRs.

Build 2 or 3, get them running, collect some cash-flow, and see how the business goes.

If you catch these at the pre-foreclosure stage as slow pays or initially in default all the better as the bank has less in collection expense.You can still work out a discount but even buying at the payoff it can be profitable depending on the property value.You can practically force a lender to sell as it can fully indemnify them as a full payoff as demanded, continuing with a foreclosure becomes a rather vengeful act by the bank to punish a borrower, they don't want to go there.

Hi Shawn-Congratulations on starting out on your real estate investing career.You have a question about whether it is good to have your real estate license or not as an investor and you are leaning toward multifamily investing.I personally think having your real estate license is helpful as an investor.Having your real estate license allows you to work with other investors to help them build their portfolios which helps expand your network while being productive, you can research market value more effectively, find out about deals before they are listed, and of course it allows you to collect the commission on purchasing any listed property.To Your Success!

"Cross selling" is _________________:a) When you go to your sales job wearing clothes more typically worn by the opposite gender.b) Just like it sounds: literally selling crucifixes. c) A strategy wherein a business strives to encourage existing customers to purchase adjacent products complementary to an item that the customer has already bought in a prior transaction, or is currently on the verge of purchasing.d) All of the above.

Sometimes maybe often times they aren't doing enough to track down the owner or owner's heirs and just collecting checks from the court.

Simultaneously, develop a detailed scope of work and collect bids from multiple contractors to compare costs and timelines.

They'll likely have follow up questions about who handles maintenance, larger SD, etc... so be prepared to quickly answer these.Value to mention:- Professionally cleaned property after each stay and exterior upkeep- Staged photos that you can share with the owner for marketing purposes- Capex coverage up to $XX,000 (might need to include in SD)- Extra $XXX per month (likely may need to pay a little extra in rent to make it worthwhile, otherwise they can collect the same amount as LTR)Also, google "Airbnb apartments" or check their website.

If you choose not to show up, he would almost certainly be awarded a judgement.Of course, you could choose not to pay the judgement, but then he can send it to a collections agency and your credit score will be trashed.I don't see a scenario here where you get through this cleanly.
