I am looking for a local lender in DFW to finance a few of rental properties as well.Thanks,Tal Hi Tal, my firm can finance 1-4 familes, condos and townhomes if that's what you're looking for.

If you’re running a MTR more like a STR, then you can decide to charge the full boat as agreed or, if you desire (possibly to obtain a good review) find a substitute renter for the period in question and credit the original renter.If, like me you operate a MTR more like a LTR just for a shorter period of time, you probably use a specific rental form provided by either the state real estate commission of the local NAR affiliate.  

People think it's inexpensive to install a Washer & Dryer, but getting the gas, electrical, water, and drain/vent there is usually quite expensive.Here in Chicago, we always want to be at the top of the market regardless of the competition, so we almost always install a W/D when we renovate our properties, even in some of the less desirable neighborhoods.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

I just put two long-term rental properties on the market that we rehabbed in desirable area of West End Boise and demand is a little lower than expected.

Hi @Dennis GallagherWe operate a lending firm and a wholesale company; as well as being investors.

Because if he makes this loan with no desire to buy the building he doesn’t deserve to lose his money but he should expect to.

Cost segs unlock these savings, but the losses won't offset your ordinary income from your job unless you are an RE Pro.Here's how to think about RE Pro status to make the best case with your CPA and the IRS:RE Pro Status starts with the IRS definition of a Real Estate Professional (IRS Pub 925).It is not as simple as getting a real estate license or working for a firm that provides real estate services.Ask yourself these questions to see if you qualify:Q1: Are you in the right business?

You can hire a landman to research if you desire. 

I own and operate a property management firm in Chicago.
