Hi Rachel,local Denver investor here.

@Hector LewisWhat kind of lender did you use and have you tried the local credit union?

I am a local Real Estate Agent and I work directly with numerous investors in the greater Naples area.

I am local to you if you want to connect just DM me.

I'd recommend finding a local real estate attorney to assist. 

Sonya, go to your local REI association meetings first, see if there are people locally who are doing mentoring and then stick with them (after some investigation).  

That being said, the one thing I will say 506(c) certainly does is make it easier to find investments, since there is really no point in being 506(c) if you are not going to actively market anyways.

Ok thank you, so a small balance will help to show I am active and bring a score to life even though I may pay some interest?

In my mind it seems like most of the extracurricular activities take place on vacation lol.  

I'm finding that some of our inquiries are from locals who are for one reason or another seeking month to month leases.
