Since you're selling the business and real estate to a partner/friend you will have some flexibility in value determination. 

As a professional property manager, I'm coming across an interesting trend related to institutions providing financial assistance for tenants who have trouble paying their security deposit and I would love to hear feedback from the BP community.Large PM companies have begun partnering with financial institutions, such as Rhino Insurance, to help tenants who struggle with paying their security deposit.

If the numbers aren't there yet, I'd suggest focus on growing your income, look into house hacking as previously suggested, or consider partnering with other investors who can qualify for the loans.

While land loans still require good financials, smaller local lenders are often more willing to work with unique situations.You could also look into partnering with a private lender or forming a joint venture with someone who shares your vision.

I think there’s some sort of option of to do a little refi on both house 1 and 2 and get the money needed to wipe out the line of credit(allowing for bigger flip opportunities, especially if I partner up with someone) and also renovating that garage space with the private investor as long as it is under 1000/month.

Options like our partner Baeslane’s free online rent collection platforms, payment apps, and ACH transfers are convenient for both parties, but traditional methods like checks or cash are still widely used.I’d love to hear about your experiences:What rent collection method do you prefer and why?

Hey William, what about adding another partner that has experience doing larger deals?
