I will need to remove the carpet and replace it with something durable and cost effective. 

if your doing a senior project I would suspect your best and most cost effective landing solution is going to be a local community bank that loves real estate.. in my experience most will want 50% down on the dirt and a ton of experience and a really strong balance sheet.Myself I always pay cash for the dirt this makes finding a lending partner much easier.

LMHA gets a staff of a couple dozen people and a big budget to be bureaucratic, the tenant gets cost effective safe housing, and we get steady rent checks)Does anyone else have these issues???

Based on the story they told me it sounds like the parents are effectively homeless and I suspect they have simply moved them in without permission.

Hello Lucas, Your question about financing a BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy is important for understanding how much cash you'll need upfront and how to leverage financing effectively.

Looking at pure spreadsheet math and common convention; if you pay down your mortgage you are effectively making that interest rate on your money. 

My long term tenant (a family friend) is moving out and I am concerned how to make sure I pre-screen future tenants effectively without violating any laws. background: this property used to be my primary home and had a very informal agreement with a family friend to rent from me in the mean time.

While I can’t promote my company directly, I’m looking to connect with cash buyers in key markets such as Florida, Arizona, Michigan, Alabama, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully built relationships with cash buyers.What strategies or platforms have you found most effective for connecting with them?

If you have any examples of pitch decks that you think are particularly well-crafted or effective, I’d love to see them!

Or at least just getting all of your thoughts and numbers on paper (or in a spreadsheet) and mapped out over the time period you're talking about, I think would be a very helpful exercise for you.
