Sometimes it can pay off to use the same lender but it does not hurt to look around for other options.

You don't have to pay cash.Rooms to go has zero interest on whole rooms of furniture all the time.Put the other stuff on a credit card and pay it off quickly.

The earlier you start in your RE journey, the better off you will be in the future.

Well between me and my wife we will make 220k off of the property so I’m taking half and investing then the rental property we are moving into will be the same rate that I’ve been paying for the home I’m selling.

It is a very nice building and no, I did not consider skipping insurance, although I suppose I could have, it is paid off. 

Plus with commissions, you have write-offs for expenses to reduce your tax burden. 4.

When the borrower defaulted we started foreclosure and got paid off of the loan, the borrower thought they were done but we were like um no, we have a JV where we also get profits as well.

Thanks  I think you would be better off doing an ARM instead of an interest only loan.

I would go on to facebook and find STR groups for your location(s) in question and see if there is a way to get a license already held by someone else, or if they are just completely off limits.

Honestly that many homes and long distance management, I'd start selling some of them off starting with the ones that are the biggest problem.
