Asset based, aka Hard Money Lenders, make the loans the banks cannot make.Very short terms.

Strong agreements that protect your position in the deal, and recording a Memorandum of Option with the county will go a long way to protecting your interest. 

We don't reach that point until we have had the opportunity to understand what an investor wants, their motivations, long-term goals, and risk profile.

At that point in time, we can just list the property and sell it. we have long-term capital gains rather than short-term capital gains, we would have probably experienced some appreciation during that time.

House Hacking, STRs, Mid-Terms, and BRRRR are all solid strategies to explore.

My lease requires professional carpet cleaning, which would cost more than $500 for a home of that size.Yes, it's reasonable to reduce the cost because she was such a long-term tenant.
