Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

So for us to use a metric that looks at having to make $100K on a deal to make it worthwhile is a non-starter. 

Very limited doesn't really convey it in venue sense, nearly non-existent is more accurate. 

So, if you put in 20K, you could set the bid up to the amount of the 100K total debt(80K existing + 20K additional) to ensure that the property reverts to you as the lender.

Just like any aspect of real estate investing, non-consumer lending at a large scale is a relationship business. 

Advancing my knowledge of underwriting is a key area for me to grow, as I've always understood this to be something the lender does but I keep hearing that we as investors get creative with underwriting.

My cash to close was 62k because of construction holdback from lender.

What you were able to do- makes a good case for not disclosing all the amenities one provides- publicly.

Andrew is my preferred lender and fellow investor I used for my DSCR (and traditional loans) loan for rental properties.

Catch is ... it is zoned at RM20-A, which for those of you keeping score at home, is apparently not eligible for a Non owner occupied STR.
