Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m in the early stages of launching a private lending business and would love to get some insights and advice from those who have experience in this field.

As the new owner, showing them that you care about both the property and their experience as residents while they're living there, and building a solid rapport with them on the front end, it will pay so many dividends as you move forward.Hope this info helps a bit, and best of luck with the new property/tenants!

I also have experience with retail, both my wife and I started and used to run a clothing shop while we both were busy (me with my company and she with a corporate job), for around 5 years before we decided to sell it.

@Wayne Brooks this is a very old one.. there was a guy in 'Colorado who had a huge internet presence and had the same deal... he got indicted and put out of business maybe someone will recall his name... when he was going big.. you would see 5 to 10 craigs list ads all saying the same thing we buy notes.. then you talk to the individual and they knew nothing about the business and read from a script..

By leveraging our experience and Seth's insights, we secured the property at a favorable price that allowed room for renovation and a profitable resale.

By leveraging our combined experience and Seth's market insights, we were able to secure the deal at a price that allowed room for renovations and a profitable resale, ensuring a successful investment.

Totally agree that giving it away to taxes was a very painful experience for me!

I have already read 30-day stay, but would like some input from others in the area who have experience.

Those can be eye-opening experiences.
