I’m afraid since I am not well traveled I M just easily impressed, lol.- What are the cons of listing with a company like AirBnB?

You may want to consider working for a PMC or as an agent, to gainthe experience necessary to be successful:)That would be a good idea but from what I seen on the websites, if they have a website, doesn't give me a good impression that that would be able to teach me anything and I would be following in their shadows if I were to start on my own after I got some experience. 

Contact buyers after their purchases to check how they’ve settled in — they’ll appreciate your consideration.You’ll soon impress clients by sharpening your skills and excelling in your training.

I’ve had friends that were hardmoney lenders that I’ve known for many years and I was impressed with their business model.

Congrats on making some very impressive and intentional moves and changes to make this deal into something great!

What is giving me the impression that you are being led down a dirt road, presumably by your real estate agent, is the paltry amount left aside for appraisal shortfalls. 2k is quite frankly, statistically insignificant compared to 500k.

Next is fastener composition, and size.

There's a very good chance this is not their first rodeo since they were doing this in the rental and not at a wild party trying to impress friends or chicks.they are not recovering addicts and therefore they are not protected by the law.

If you don't do the homework, you will give them the impression you may not be up to the task of doing the homework with real estate investing.

I don't have a great first impression for this tenant.
