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

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

Does anyone have advice or experience they could share?

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.

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 can tell you from experience, I've yet to see a "comprehensive lease agreement" that was not drafted by an attorney who knows this business well.

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

I played baseball at the college I am trying to rent out so I spoke with the coaches and they will recommend players to live at this house.
