@Nicholas Natale , you got some excellent advice here, but what is missing is to make it explicitly clear that they are NOT to paint the other rooms the colors they chose.The best way to go about being a landlord is to focus on your communication.

And just for fyi, my LLC is a single member entity, no employees other than myself.SDIRA is not a Roth.I find my real estate investing is more efficient by focusing more on the projects and not so much the financial administration side of things.

@Edouard Pierre, don't forget about water-efficient appliances. 

They have always been very professional and efficient for everything that I've used them for.Caveat: I have only asked them to handle typical plumbing issues and inspections, I have not asked them to do any development or extensive projects, not sure what you meant by that.

Keep everything professional and all communications in writing, letters-not by email or text messages or phone calls.

Concentrated on interior architecture and communications arts/design in college and have an interest in investing and building equity through wholesaling then I plan to invest in flips, buy & hold and timeshares.

But you get in for nothing, increase the rents and make more efficient then you can refinance them out. 

Jenny is very professional, is an excellent communicator and a very hard worker.

Like many described above, a private lender can be anyone from a friend or family member or otherwise a company not affiliated with a conventional lender aka a bank.The qualities you seek in a lender are subjective to the investor, but overall they should be able to close your loan in the time-frame promised from the start, communication is of paramount importance as well.

Pay attention to the very first communication you receive from a potential tenant.
