@Shiloh LundahlYou would do better to learn how to attract and engage private lenders than to simply attempt to engage other newbies whose money will also run out once they have partnered with your first deal together.My $0.02 ...

Certain parties cannot engage the retirement plan across the table in transactions or services.

If you stay engaged and ask questions theres always someone who could provide some good advice and insight for you.

Not sure if Chris offers this any more but at least that's the feed back from others that I have gotten.There is only a small sliver of TK companies active on BP.... and for me personally if I was a TK company BP open forum would not be a place I would engage in much..

They cost money, this is more conversational curiosity, and I like to engage the community.

You do have a covered loss here, just not a reason to engage the Loss of Rents/Loss of Use coverage as the loss didn't displace a tenant who was paying you rent at the time.

We are considered to be the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with so connect with REIA meetings, accountability partners, and mastermind groups to engage with individuals interested in real estate investing.At the bottom of this page is a list with help in it.

I would take the next 4 months until the wedding to learn as well as enjoy your engagement.

I don't know your personal proclivity to being chatty, so I suggest you find a few good questions that engages people to talk about THEIR problems.
