The core 4 is David Greene’s strategy for long-distance and made up of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender.

There's no way on God's green earth that you should be responsible for an entire countertop just to repair ordinary damage to a 30-year-old counter.

Fannie and Freddie agency loans ($1 million+) and certain bridge loan products will not require a personal guarantee.

The product was good, my experience working with them was awful.

Messy job.These TrafficMaster products offer a 25 year warranty. 

Based on the information you've given thus far this seems like a job for a product other than a hard money loan.

I’m thinking about adding a townhouse in Raleigh, NC.I already have a Corp for my video production agency, which is my full-time job.Thanks for any guidance or recommendations!

Nice like Green feel though. 

Anyways, my goal is to build a passive income stream to reach financial independence so that I can either start a nonprofit or small business where I help landowners who have historically struggled to access markets to sell their timber for either forest products like lumber, or carbon credits to help offset larger companies carbon emissions.

I haven't done it myself, but it's a technique David Greene recommends in his book "Sold".
