Quote from @James Jefferson: Hi, I have a family member that had a reverse mortgage on their property it's a 3b 1b 1 acre of land heats by oil no hvac and on well water.

I'm happy to be a resource as well.

Additionally, the STR market is quite oversaturated right now as well

I am an investor friendly agent as well looking to start my journey in RE investing.

Have a client interested there as well as myself and just wondering how it's going! 

Since this is a post about our loan shop, I'll highlight that we are a small loan shop (30 employees), family-owned just trying to get more clients by placing their loans well and treating customers well.

This is a structure we’ve implemented with our private investors, and it’s been working really well for everyone involved.Here’s an example of how tiered returns might look in a lending scenario:Investment AmountAnnualized Return$100,000 - $249,99915%$250,000 - $499,99916%$500,000 - $999,99917%$1,000,000 and above18%Why Use a Tiered Structure?

These things happen, just make sure you document as well as possible.

Head over to bank rate or and take a look at the mortgage calculators, plug in the numbers and get an idea of what the property needs to generate to satisfy the intended debt.You still have to underwrite the deal for the non-finance expenses as well(typically 40-50% of the gross rents). 

We have not disabled ours or converted to gas, but Tenant must sign a Fireplace Addendum stating if they use it, we require a higher renter's liability policy with us as additional insured, rules on wood, storage, use, safety, they pay for yearly professional cleaning each year they are there, etc.
