I was the first developer to build new on that street.

Most typically you'd hear this term in commercial leasing where the tenant reconfigures an office space or builds out a retail store/restaurant space.

In my opinion, good sponsors communicate regularly (and at a minimum are sending yearly financials and quarterly updates). 

I haven't set specific targets beyond this initial goal, but I may aim to increase my passive income to $5,000 or $10,000 per month in the future.Current PropertiesI currently have two properties:The Loft:This property is rented out long-term and generates around $300 per month in passive income after HOA and management fees.The loft has approximately $100,000 in equity.The House:This is a brand-new build (2024) that I'm currently occupying through house hacking.I invested $70,000 in the property, which means I have $70,000 in equity.My plan is to convert this property into an Airbnb or long-term rental within the next two years.Short-term rental comps suggest I can earn around $3,500-$4,000 per month, while long-term rental comps indicate I can earn around $3,000-$3,300 per month.Seeking AdviceGiven my upcoming financial situation, I'm seeking advice on the best course of action.

The Cosigner Agreement states they are financially responsible, all communication will take place through the actual occupants, I don't deal with helicopter parents, they are responsible for payment of rent as well as any cleaning/repairs after termination, etc.Don't forget it's not easy to sue a cosigner if they live in another county.  

I'm particularly passionate about about BRRRing and Fix and Flip.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, being in forests (I love big trees), fishing, building things, and financial independence. 

As it relates to a vendor, to me the most important thing is communication.

Some long term holds  NN  building and rentals that have zero debt..

As a new investor, focus on building your team.

Sure, there are going to be people who fail but if you truly try and make your best effort and do your own due diligence by evaluating these properties, inspection, ARV, etc. and really learning the strategy of both BRRR and turnkey fix and flip, it will work.You need to build a strong and trustworthy team on the ground.People nowadays quit the second something gets hard.
