So far it seems like your advisement is to avoid them altogether.

I'd also advise putting the burden of dealing with security deposit on the tenants.

My advise is to thoroughly vet potential legal issues before hand.

All of this can be attributed to all of you guys who are here posting, helping, sharing, complaining, advising, suggesting, and asking.There are very few communities that actively give/share as much as BP.

My real estate attorney advises me on my syndication structure and other deal specific legal matters.

For example,  I advise  the sub -leasse to let the sub-lessor give 30 day notice. 

If you need a lender referral, PM me.Without a pre-approval, a seller's agent will advise the seller against accepting an offer because they have no idea whether you can really buy the property or not.

Your best advise on this thread: Don't trust ZillowFor some reason, in particular, Zillow does a horrible job at calculating ARV and appreciation in Indiana in general.If you're really trying to determine what the percentage of appreciate is happening in the area - you should be looking at comps within the last 3-6 months.

Can somebody please advise  what are generic financial terms for private lending(residential).Like loan rate, what happens when loan matured and borrower wants few more months extension.Thanks in advance.

Please advise?
