Working with a principal who gives you all the reason to think they are "all in" then turns into "slim shaddy" is not cool.

I personally think the odds of the SEC allowing non-accredited investors to engage in crowdfunding is slim to none, but the government is surprising me a lot these days.

$250k and a $40 cash flow seems slim after everything, but perhaps its a start.

@Anna DyalChances are slim to none of getting a personal unsecured loan.Lenders lend to someone who they believe is low risk.You have shown you haven’t been able to pay your current bills so adding more debt will most likely make the situation worseMy advice is before buying anything else or adding more debt get your house/finances in order and do a budget and manage your money.Have seen many people do what you have done and go bankrupt once housing slows or rents stop coming in

I don't care what other companies say they charge in your area.That is cheap especially in California where gas is very high and cost of living.We get 10% down here in Georgia easily and gas is cheaper and cost of living is much cheaper and margins are already slim structured that way.With that kind of money you had I would have went after apartments instead of a house or 2 but that's a moot point.I do know California in some areas has very friendly tenant laws that are not in favor of the landlord.I am surprised you did not research this more before purchasing as to eviction time lines.You can pay an attorney but they are extremely expensive.I saw an attorney in eviction court lose his case for his client and the tenant got another month of free rent.Just because they are an attorney doesn't mean they are competent.If you must pay an attorney you bombard them with questions and write down the answers and learn the process so that next time you can file for yourself and save your money.The question is how much do you make per hour with your business or job??

I have noticed that as well... slim pickings it seems.  

@Dee Trucker I won’t say that a hard money loan can’t work, but it’d be tricky and your profits will probably be really slim.

Chance of them coming back after an inspection or 2 at night are slim though they could try to move back with relatives over the holidays get kicked out and comeback. 

Also, if you don't default the chances of someone knocking on your door to do an occupancy check is slim.

Buy a box of slim Jim’sb.
