Hi all - new to the Bigger Pockets forums, so apologies if this has already been asked before, but wondering if anyone here has experience renting out. a private room in their primary residence?

Does anyone have any experience with EJ at Eagle Commercial Funding (http://www.eaglecfs.com/)?

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

I already have a few GC/contractors lined up who have experience in rehab projects.

Learned so much from this experience and can't wait for the next one!

Curious to learn more about your experiences.
