I am small enough that I can still do the managing of the properties like this and assume that as I grow I can get a property management company that deals with bigger player.

I still have a day job so chasing down different quotes is difficult, but maybe I need to find someone to do that? 

Again. from we told you (and everyone else who went to the back of the room to get their totebag of cd's, booklets and the dollar tree quality mp4 player and paid $2000.00 just to get in before the upsells start) so.

I'm based in Memphis and happy to help introduce you to the players in town.

Chase used to have good card offers for this. 

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

When you say private lender, are you referring to a private individual, or do you mean a nonbank lender, such as a lender that is not a Chase bank or a Wells Fargo? 

I will regurgitate for you what I have heard: there is a major player in that market offloading their inventory so deals right now may be especially easy to find.

Like Gabe Chase mentioned above, one year is probably too long?  

But there are many more investors chasing every deal that's out there, repair costs are much higher, taxes are much higher, insurance is much higher, regulations are starting to become a bigger issue, and of course interest rates are an issue.
