Even though it's already decided to move forward with Smarter Contact, it'd be great to hear others' experiences using Smarter Contact and to see if disabling the opt-out msg has been... detrimental or better.

Any advice on this and experience/tips from others having gone through similar deals would be greatly appreciated!

Looking to see what other feedback people have from their experiences.

If the property needs rehab, you might be able to do a fix and flip loan at 90% of the PP and 100% of the rehab, depending on your experience, LTARV, and credit 

Utah and the areas I am looking at in the Salt Lake County/Utah County area seem to be too high to meet the 1% rule, and it seems to be harder to find deals that cash flow, but that could be because of my lack of experience. 

We would like to create a partnership where we are 50/50 partners and he brings the cash and I bring the experience, knowledge, and contacts ect.

Most of the lenders I work with (provided you have experience and a credit score over 660) would do up to 85% of the purchase price and up to 100% of the rehab costs, provided this doesn't exceed 75% of the ARV.As for the idea of selling the land, great idea.

Also anyone know if you can list it on AirBNB as an experience not for overnight stays?

Keep in mind, such an appraisal may not be able to be used by your lender, but perhaps you can request an appraiser with investment property experience (wherever they may be). 

When you specifically mentioned STR experience and the possibility of something with some added "personal value" bells started going off.
