We use Autohost to automate this process via an online check-in system: https://www.autohost.ai/You can also use it to gather additional information and place a hold on their credit card, similar to a hotel.The one downside of Autohost, is that it doesn't have an automated way to collect the ID for all the adult guests (although it collects names + email from the guest).Finally, Autohost can also be used to have the guests sign your rental agreement and agree to your house rules.

I'm not entirely against paying a consultant that has worked as bank/mortgage lender/underwriter for a significant period of time to assist you to set up your practice or review your deals for you.

Hi Tax masters,I have a question about the county mortgage tax when purchasing a property.I'm quoting a mortgage from 3 lenders for a small multi-family in Bushwick/Ridgewood area (Brooklyn NY), and one of them estimated the county mortgage tax in their quote when the other 2 didn't.If anyone has some knowledges to share with this, I would appreciate it.

Rents have lagged sales prices and probably will continue to do so in 2024 with the # of apartments coming online. 

I have a buddy that is in mortgage but unfortunately we are not able to secure deals with his company because most buyers have better financing or cash options and this is taking me out of the game.

This could get you 6-8 units if you shop patiently which is a great starting point.Please do not send any money off to companies that advertise real estate "syndications" online.

I recently helped connect a friend of a friend to one of my contractors who had started the build on his 400 sqft ADU with a contractor that he found online.

And he said I would pay the mortgage directly.

I've heard of "blanket mortgages" which I thought might be a better option for me so I could use the equity in both properties and only need to get one mortgage.

Problem is - the seller needs the cash to satisfy the mortgage + have funds to move to a new house.
