I have a potential private lender, but I need to determine if this is a viable investment opportunity and explore the best financing optionsYou’re a first time investor going for 36 units… alone?

Unit 3 - mid-term rental (this would be best for the most private unit as most mid-term renters are more concerned with privacy and creature comforts than amenities)4.

Quote from @Rodney Davis: They presented themselves as private lenders.

I private messaged you. 

I AM NOW USING MY 9-5 TO PAY OFF THE PRIVATE LENDER EVERY MONTH WE ARE SET BACK FINANCIALLY BUT THE future IS BRIGHT ! 

From google: “The Fair Housing Act (FHA) does not apply to certain types of rentals, including: Owner-occupied buildings: If the building has four or fewer units and is owned by the person who lives there Single-family homes: If the owner rents or sells the home without using a real estate agent, and they own no more than three homes Religious organizations: If the property is only available to members of the organization's religion Private clubs: If the property is only available to members of the club Senior housing: If the property is designated for people who are at least 55 years old Even if a property is exempt from the FHA, it must still comply with the law's ban on discriminatory statements, notices, or advertising.

I can definitely share who NOT to trust your property with if you want to send me a private message. 

I am just attempting to give you my view point and possibly highlight some points that may be a bit painful to hear but which are nonetheless true and which may help in the future, idk. 

It's just a room and private bathroom and that unit KILLS on Booking but not really on Air or Homeaway/Vrbo.All of my 1-3 bedroom "whole unit" listings do good on Airbnb but not so much on Booking or Homeaway/Vrbo.And I have a 5 bedroom unit and it does nothing on Booking, but pretty good on Air and Homeaway/Vrbo.I think bigger units that facilitate large groups do well on Homeaway for some reason.

To their surprise, bookings actually ticked up a bit.You dont have to highlight every detail of your exterior if it’s not your property’s strongest suit.
