However, I've read that lands contracts can exist where I'm not given the deed to the home until the loan amount is paid in full ($155,000.)

I started reading books and listening to podcasts.

I do have both thankfully, probably more time to invest than money.I probably spend 4 hours weekly studying and reading and listening at this point. 

I'm going to send this to some of my junior team members to read and memorize (quiz to follow).Keep up the good work. 

Next lease, maybe add a specific clause about taking care of the exterior?

I have read of you decline bookings air bnb will not push your listing being a new host that worries us. 

As long as you’re careful and track them and pay them off : ) 

We actually read books to pas the time. 

But if technically you won't be living there while the hard money is deployed, then they don't need to care about your plans after you exit the hard money loan.
