We could not officially sign the papers until NASB turned over the money, but NASB would not turn over the money until we had signed the papers.Fortunately, we were able to get a short-term loan for the balance, officially buy the property, get the NASB mortgage, and then pay the short term loan back within a very short time frame.Now I want to buy another property with another friend using SD-IRA's and I don't want to go through the same process.

If less than $500K then you'd have to negotiate it as a short sale with the 2nd lender.  

But what about short term rentals?

But I kindly pat each one of them on the head, and remind them that life is too short, and that they should make love, not war.

Essentially you are buying like it's a Multifamily (income based approach vs lending to you as a credit taker)  and my hopes are I can get those going shortly. 

I also obtained certification in mitigation for foreclosures, short sales and tax sales for Global Equity Lending and American Home Lending.

Today it was listed as short sale for 175k.

I don't have QuickBooks experience but I am going to give it a try.I do have a LLC for my short term rental units but should I start another LLC for the long term rental units and keep the bank account separate? 

I came across this short term financing company that caters to residential flippers.

She is a broker and has an agent working for her, also these people are investors and have the local RE investor group, who literally learned or honed his skills on the job with their help.It seems that if you get your salesperson license you just may like the interaction since you come from an industry that dealt face to face with people, albeit on a short term case.Good luck...
