Has anyone used Avail and/or  Innago, if so, it would be greatly appreciated to know your experiences with both or either.

What are some of the weird experiences you all have had?

Hi Brian, how was your experience with hard money lending?

Curious if anyone has experience with Tax auction properties.....

While I can't speak to investing in Austin and Peoria due to my lack of experience in those areas, I can definitely vouch for Cleveland as a fantastic option, especially if you're seeking cash flow properties.

Does anyone have advice or experience they could share?

Here is my raw advice from my experience: - Divide up contractor payments into 4 (1st before project start, 2nd 1/3 of the way there, 3rd 2/3 of the way there, and 4th after project finishes).- Tell him if he can finish the project within the date, you will give him an extra $500 but if he does not finish then he won't get it. - Call every 2-3 days to get project updates - Pay for materials with your lowes pro business credit card over the phone - Ask contractor for itemized list of things that needed to be doneThe above will ensure your sucess.

Do you have experience with renovation or landlording or mini-flips?

They have some of the most extensive fees because this way they can charge you fees but low points.You can expect to pay about 1,500 in closing cost fees: Legal, processing, underwriting.To get in a good loan, you would need some experience in real estate flipping/holding preferably in Houston and be 100k liquid and have credit 700+.You fill those three needs and I can help you for sure.

I've previously posted on my RAL journey but I want to share my experiences and lessons learned.
