OTOH, hard money is just business so if your number makes sense they will probably lend even if you don't have a personal connection with them. 

I'd like to collect rent on the 1st and then pay the mortgage on the 7th to prevent the lag of pulling money out of my property account just to put it back in within a day or two, but I want to make sure that my interest won't go up in the 6 additional days if I pay it on the 7th.Can someone let me know if that makes sense or if I'm misunderstanding how mortgage interest is calculated?

I'm currently 27 years old and enjoy long walks on the beach.I also have somewhat of a lame sense of humor :-pIf you look at my profile you'll probably notice that I've been a member for almost a year, so I suppose I'm technically not "new" per se, but I am new to the forums and I'm making an effort to become a more active member.

It only makes sense to keep property up and cost of doing this is small. 

But if you're really serious and you're persistent someone will sense that and decide to have you work with them.

I am not (currently) interested in flipping, wholesaling, or investing out of state.At this point I'm primarily interested in owner-occupied multi-family properties in the Arlington/Belmont area, as well as potential investment opportunities in East Boston/Chelsea.Please don't hesitate to reach out or introduce yourself if we share some common interests!

-Nail down a close market rent for the area and get a better sense of the realistic expenses -Analyze 1 deal everyday until I get comfortable doing it.

It is a common fee charged by almost all brokerages.....the client either pays it, or the agent pays it out of their commission.  

Would be nice to meet your girlfriend as well, Im sure we would have a lot in common and could share some design ideas!

Of course the numbers need to make sense, market rent needs to be high enough to make the payment with a decent cash flow.
