For showings just consolidate them so you aren't doing it individually but in groupings 15 minutes apart that way it isn't so bad if a couple haven't read the ad.

I can get the basis value by: "To determine the basis of an individual lot, multiply the total cost of the tract by a fraction.

I'm leaning towards the individual neighborhood route thinking I may come across something no one else sees.

So, you are able to select loan products that are a closer fit to your individual needs, but they may be a little harder to find, as there are few central marketplaces for them. 

My biggest recommendation is to surround yourself with like-minded individuals that will help keep you accountable and develop a plan to work toward the designed life you want your business to grow into.

Although prospective borrowers are individuals, once they are approved for financing, their funding is sent to their LLC or company that has been set up for the purchase.In the context of hard money and private money lending, the funding provided is used to finance a real estate venture.

A long term tenant usually means it's a different "family" and should have a separate meter in order to be a legal unit that can be leased to a separate individual.

My goal in my market is to destroy you, creating a one-world monopoly where I own all the best properties and have a line of individuals humbling begging for tenancy 🤣 ; barring that outcome, the next best one is one where I still stand above the competition because I have better properties, better rates relative to those properties and better service than other landlords.

@Parker Radford I guess the questions is do you want to scale and build wealth....own a performing portfolio of cash flowing properties, have absolute freedom of time, and house dozens of individuals...or do you want to own half of a duplex in San Diego...seems like an easy answer to me. 

I wouldn’t rent to individuals who don’t make at least 3x rent (and ideally they’d make more than that as that’s just a floor), I also wouldn’t accept a co-signer who doesn’t make at least 5x rent because they have their own bills and expenses, even if their credit scores check out I’d be concerned about them bringing in enough on a monthly basis to ensure that I was always getting paid, I’d honestly rather my unit be vacant than to rent to unqualified tenants ESPECIALLY in New York where eviction is a nightmare and the state doesn’t care about landlords in the least
