As you mentioned, there are some excellent capital raisers on BP...and the concern is not the model, just the candor.Yes that's what I mentioned you need to be in management and part of the GP team.. or an employee . in our state we could have two employees raise money and we just had to register them with the Division of corporate securities in Oregon... but just running around making referrals to syndicators with nothing more than a commission agreement does not work unless your licensed properly.. there are many boutique series 7 firms out there that specialize in this stuff.

My question is this: Should I secure a property management company to cover the land lording duties on my first couple of deals. 

If she backs out before the predetermined date do I make her responsible for rent fee, or just keep her security deposit?

Showing him the numbers of course is the best way to secure this deal.

I believe this takes 3-5 days unless the sender opts for Instant Transfer and pays a fee.I think Zelle is the least expensive, fastest and most secure method of all these online methods.

Per Fannie:If the mortgage loan being delivered to Fannie Mae is secured by the borrower’s principal residence, there are no limitations on the number of other properties that the borrower will have financed.

NOTE:  Their security deposit still needs to be the non-discounted rent total!

I've calculated my number - how many units I want to get to where I feel financially secure and content with my real estate career.  

This issue can be avoided completely by transferring the property into a land trust.While a transfer to an LLC will cause alarms at the bank and prompt them to send you a letter, a transfer to a trust will not.

It turns out her old landlady in a similar situation had brought out a contractor and made a lot of noise about replacing the whole vinyl window, and finally charged her $70.00 for an entire new screen frame shipped from the window manufacturer.Same landlady who ate my tenant's security deposit and had never heard of giving notice before banging on the door.
