We provide housing for Homeless and Addicted people in underserved communities, and in an attempt to revitalize our Downtown area, and expand our Program (part of it is home ownership and entrepreneurship) we need to be able to buy adjudicated properties, or have them donated, then have the finances to redevelop and repair them.

I’ve heard from countless people over the years who made their construction financing decisions strictly based on the term sheet terms and have had miserable experiences.

@Cindy Young, the common rule of thumb is 1%, you will hear that all over the place, and you will also hear people rail against this rule of thumb as well.

In addition to cash for keys or evictions, I did hear of a story on BP about someone showing up with keys and a lease and getting the person out that way as they were then trespassing...but if it was that easy, more people would do that.

Is this a pro in house-hacking because there will be more people renting?

BTW, I have created several MMLLCs, some with people I initially never met face to face, and at the core are general terms and, legally, the Operating Agreement.

These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

I certainly don't want to knock how people advertise or get business...but getting a recommendation from someone who has already vetted that lender helps out considerably. 

I have heard people on these forums talk about using the Nest thermostat to set a maximum low + high temperature, to keep guests from blasting the a/c or accidentally bumping the heat up to 98.
