He's answered all my questions, helped me do minor tweaks to my overall business plan, steered me towards some deals and away from others.The guy is worth his weight in gold.

.- 60-90 day closing time and higher closing costs than normal (estimate was 9-10k on 150k loan)- $500 application fee (however app ia reviewed before going to board and rejected before app fee is paid if officer feels it will not pass the board approval)- W2 income not needed. 3 yr taxes, business plan, 3 year business projections, weighted heavily on returns from property being purchased and its returns. 

That BPO value literally has no weight.

They are more weighted upon sales approach as they are still considered residential.

@William Hochstedler While I'm new to investing I may not carry much weight, but I think I'd have to agree after watching the market here for a short period of time.

I put more weight into Cashflow and CoC Return than I do the others.

It was probably 1-2 hours a week of "work" (cleaning, and guest interaction is all there is really).By renting our 1br in our house we were able to nearly cover our mortgage, allowing us to save enough to buy another property that had a walk out basement that we converted into a seperate apartment space for Airbnb guests, turning our first property into a long term rental.I would recommend using a lighter color pallette, white sheets and comforter.

I am not suggesting they can't do it but there is a little bit of a learning curve, ie...the size and weight of the home will determine the size of crane and some times, although rarely, two may be needed. 

I hope to base my business on solving problems and win/win deals, but if I'm consistently getting more out of the deal than the seller, then my conscience will eat at me and the money in my bank account will be a weight and burden rather than an achievement.Giving to charities is still paying from the money out of the original seller's pocket.Is the answer simply to accept smaller margins of profit and leave more on the table for the seller, or am I failing to achieve my own potential by intentionally limiting myself?

Young kids do not understand that mom needs to work or trying to sound professional on any sort of phone call is a joke but I want to feel that I am pulling my weight, doing my due diligence if you will, and able to be effective alongside my spouse as we start this journey.
