When I started, I  submitted great deals to a corporate cash buyer,  they went behind my back and secure the deals with the sellers, after the  contracts expired.

The building next to yours looks much nicer and has THREE security vehicles parked in front.

And I provide solid returns for my private lenders in the process.

@Chris Seveney @Nathan Gesner The owners offered to cancel their lease and return their security deposit in full.

If you are skilled in each of the areas above, and you have enough in reserves to cover the costs of when things do not go as planned, then you can likely attract money from private money lenders who want to get a return on their money and they see lending to you as a low risk way of earning a better return than in the other passive investing options they have. 

Looking for downsides from people that have used it The software that I used, perhaps more advanced three years after your AI development, because we can see the actual Investor Intellegence including more private transaction data and photo.

Hey Cecil, if you have the capital to operate locally, and it fits your goals to do so, I highly recommend doing that.Congrats on securing your primary though.

Security investigated to find the renters still at our house.

I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.
