Hi all,    I have a friend / private money person who is going to lend me money to buy a property. 

In my personal portfolio there aren't any pet restrictions = better tenants, higher rents, and tenants that stay longer.

I personally would use Shane Flipping- Flipping Custom Homes. 

This usually means someone who sells you mutual fund investments and products based on life insurance.

Personally, I'd be very conservative in my revenue projections on something like this just in case this trend continues. 

why no MLS  agents may have done a bunch of your homework up front.. just offer what makes sense to you.. me personally I would start with  the zoning maps and only look at props zoned for the size you want to create.. then work backwards.. no sense chasing deals without knowing the zoning up front.

there are some 85% CLTV products out there for full doc and bank statement loans 

You need to compare your cost of living, and overall personal cashflow each money with your current situation vs. this potential new acquisition.

Yes you can use zillow/apartments.com/Craiglist, but the most success i have personally would be FB Market place.

I’m not a greedy person in the least bit.
