Everyone's strategies and philosophies are different so take this with a grain of salt. 

That said, as a landlord, there have been a number of times when I wish I held a security deposit because my tenants moved out and left a mess in the apartment and I had no way easy way to go after them (ex. dirty fridge full of expired food = 2 unplanned hours of my own time to clean out).

I would love to network with local investors over cocktails or food.

3) What about food while out of town for remodeling?

What a friendly place, with good food and the river walk, and tons of great neighborhoods.

I've donated the use of the commercial space to a local food pantry.

She can get free food through local food banks which frees up money for at least partial rent payments of $100 a week or something to show good faith.I understand life happens and people fall on hard times through no fault of their own, but I don't have much tolerance for people that refuse to take concrete steps to help improve their situation or keep me updated.

Take a look with a lender that you like, see where rates and pricing is at (it was a lot better 3 weeks ago compared to today, so take todays rates worth a grain of salt) and see how the numbers look. 

Provide healty organic fresh food to our clients.The farm is 1.4mil we are looking for a private money, angel investor.Seller is carrying 30% so 70% will be the loan amount desired.I would love to close this deal before Halloween we would love to use the barn for hunted house.

Especially while getting started I recommend having some sort of income to pay the bills and put food on the table until you have built your business up into something that is making money.Also don't forget that being an agent comes with a lot of fees.
