The guys who approve loans in banks agree with me - it's no longer seen as illegitimate or unsustainable.

We just completed a rehab job which took about a year to complete and receive city approval in NJ.

Using the BRRRR method, we can Buy, Rehab and Rent it out without any need for outside funding or approval from anyone.

It is however also time to reflect on why it didn't work out.My personal experience has been that in order for the relationship to work I need to be very clear up-front about what my expectations are e.g. get 3 quotes for every expense above $1k, get my approval for any expense above $350, rent paid by x date, late fees, eviction process etc.If you take time to reflect on how you could improve your odds of success working with a property manager going forward you will be ready to scale when the time comes.

What about regulation A I believe it allows general solicitation and allows you to raise an unlimited amount of money from accredited investors as long as you register with the SEC and they approve the fund?

@Tyler Bodi - the parcel that I’m looking at is zoned for planned development so if the city were to approve of more than 4 units I would be set on the zoning side.

Are there any companies who can pre-approve with a soft pull?

That way you could put as low as 3.5% down.Note: If you have not already, I would recommend getting pre-approved from at least one bank so that you can act quickly on any deals that come up.

I agree with @Remington Lyman, I would get pre-approved with a lender and then get connected with a realtor @Odayne Daley!

If there is not a history of these issues, I would take her but be pretty strict about anyone staying over 2 nights a month needs to be approved in writing before the third night happens.
