I have found broker who will relay me borrowers' information, so I only need to find someone to borrow for low interest rate from.Any help will be much appreciated!

BORROW MONEY, BUY MORE!

Let's say they need to foreclose and the borrower picks up the Yurt and moves it - now the entire loan they underwrote is thrown out, along with title insurance, and the lien on that property.- Value: A SFR, or 2-4 unit (what it would be in this case) are residential assets and thus are valued off the "sales comparision approach" rather than the income approach.

My contractors have always gone to there choice of hardware stores, placed the order and I've paid for the order in full and had it delivered to the job site for them, that way no out of pocket expense for them and conveniently at the job sites...

(in terms of pros and cons).You can also use rentals to provide additional borrowing power if your rental currently cashflows from a tax perspective.Hopefully that helps your scenario advance forward in terms of what to ask and think about.

The borrower defaulted and was a few months behind.
