I have a friend that has expressed an interest in being a private money lender.

Bronx is only 30 minutes to times square by express train and pretty much the only place I can afford to buy a multifamily.Immediate goalsTo live rent free, and may be make some money after mortgage/tax/maintenance, through a combination of rentals and short term rentals like AirBnb.

So there are a couple of cool things that'll be happening to Little Village.http://chicago.curbed.com/2017/3/15/14935330/chica...El Paseo Trail2nd class Restaurants being put into 26th Street (Panda Express)Apart from business and development, the way i see it is that residents of Pilsen are being pushed out due to gentrification and my prediction is that they relocate to Little Village.

Hi, I just want to express interest in this topic since i'm in Austin as well and just starting.

This evening a general contractor came by to price out the remodel, and when he saw the damage/repair, he expressed similar concerns (I should have a professional look at it).Question: because it's very old, there is no odor in the attic (even sniffing the soot or very slight char on a few old rafters.

Some of the facial expressions I get are truly priceless!

I want to move forward on another buy and hold (doesn't need much or any rehab so I would prefer not to go the hard money route) but my current lender has expressed to me that it will likely be too difficult for them to do because of our soon to be new debt to income ratio.

As you move further along in this venture, I'd be happy to answer questions (the best I can) and provide any bits of experience which may be useful.Reading your initial post, I have to words of caution to a couple of the ideas expressed:"I want to hire a student to manage both so I have someone on-site, but more importantly to give experience and income to current students.

I can not even begin to express how grateful I am to have him in my life.
