Regardless, It’s always paid for itself and allows me to build a savings for its own repairs when it needs it, so overall I think I still have a good rental situation. 

I would also notify their bank to cut you a check as they allowed someone to deposit it into an account not of who the check was made out too.

They suggested I try to negotiate a settlement instead, which I did.If this individual was licensed, I recommend you file a complaint against them with the licensing board.

Our Midwest markets provide the opportunity to quickly recycle capital (even if a client can only afford to do 1 project at a time, they could still potentially do 3+ projects a year), and also allows our clients to benefit from multiple exit strategies (the house can be flipped as a turnkey, flipped to a retail buyer, or held as a personal rental for positive cash-flow).

Do you have to get a cash advance from each of the individual credit cards?

They will have to file individual 1040 returns and report that income.

I am just disappointed because Texas REI allows him and his wife to use their platform to market like this to vulnerable folks.  

HOA's also have restrictions and some may not allow leasing or using other strategies like short-term rentals of Rent-by-the-room. 

#3 is the individual credible i.e. have they done what I want to do or have a unique perspective that will help me get to #1 faster?

Looking to restart with some single family homes with slight rehabs that will allow me to put my hvac experience to good use!
