I've closed a bunch of loans with Kiavi, Roc, and a few with ABL, I also closed with RCN, Easy Street, Lima One, and some smaller private lenders.I've come to the conclusion that the experience at the lender is not globally good or globally bad. 

We have 60 rentals12 air bb units, Ohio  and Fla. 15-20  flips and wholesales, between buy and sell close at any point. 

Close date comes and goes and still not a word from the seller.6.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and it's super landlord friendly (so you will never have to go through a 12 month eviction or anything close to that!).

I have now sold off 2 homes, I will close on another in Jan 2025 and a new tenant is interested in buying the rental home in 2026. 

We just closed on our first investment property and we jumped right in with a quad plex.

One of the developers I work close with is getting ready to build 4 spec houses.

Closing costs + rent ready costs + lease out costs - those you need to be compensated for and new investors are always surprised that they can add up to 5 or 10 or 15K.  

It is still a seller's market in many geographic locations, so you can ask potential buyers for an extended closing period and/or with options to extend the closing period. 

It is EXCEPTIONALY dangerous for the average Joe/Jane to get a margin account and max it, or even get anywhere close to maxing it.
