However Baltimore government can be a pain to deal with. 

The 1099 form is another job that the federal government requires you to do because "You didn't build that".    

Now, the city wants a new garage built meeting current setbacks, which will create a nightmare.We decide to cancel and the listing agent threatened that the government has lawyers who loves fighting.

Here is CA the loan late fees are regulated as well the time frame for what is considered late, which allows for more than just the typical 3-5 days on a rental.

It wouldnt surprise me though if someday Mr. big government tries to regulate my mailings because 100 people in the country think it should be illegal.

The loan process atleast for residential financing has so much paperwork and governmental regulation that as a lender we get enough brain damage just from the operations of processing a loan.

Here we are a university and government town, so leases tend to run May - April, September - August or September - April.

(you will split profits with)It is not necessarily very hard to borrow from a private "lender", but it is a heavily regulated arena.

Much of how one deals with a portfolio will be governed by the investment plan.

I would prefer the old way of owner financing them to a buyer, but with new regulations, that's not really doable anymore, from what I've read here and elsewhere.Please keep us posted on your progress!!
