Willing to go the extra mile here based on the numbers.Thanks!!

Even if I do not recover the money, I do want to have them reported to the credit bureaus etc. so that they do not do this to another unsuspecting landlord in the future.

@Olivia Blake how much money will you potentially lose by strong-arming a tenant and then having them break the lease early - or even just not renew?

It's real estate in markets with population growth, it's pretty hard to lose money if you get an inspection and appraisal."....Wishful thinking at best when buying C/D properties.

Hard Money Loan How did you add value to the deal?

We were wondering if it would be best for him to get the degree or to drop out and focus on making money and getting experience in real estate instead (or try and do both)? 

.✅ Use 20% from my HELOC for the down payment and finance the rest with hard money.✅ Force appreciation over 6 months, then refinance into a DSCR loan to pay off the HELOC.✅ Rinse and repeat!

NOTE: we charge extra for this.4) What about a floor plan, so prospective tenants can get an idea where their furniture may fit?

It's real simple math.Let's assume you bought it without any money down and just took over their existing loan of $4.375 at 4.28%.

Used enirely OPM to buy this one, and borrowed money from a family member who is in commercial real estate to do the renovation.
