I am wondering if there are any BP owners or property managers that are trying anything different from requiring traditional security deposits?

They managed 70 units for me and agreed to 7.5%.. 10% is like for like 1-5 units.. you need to allow them to manage more units to lower the cost..It's harder for them to scam you and run away if they are using a management platform like buildium and appfolio.. unless they do some manual overrides but at end of day it come down to credibility.. is it worth it for them to scam you and lose license and business? 

@Alex Rand - I dont have zero experience in commercial, only residential, so maybe you should not listen to me at all...That said, with the ever expanding to e-commerce, the traditional retail has been and will continue to shrink, meaning the demand for retail space has been reducing and will continue to reduce....I would not get too greedy here....

If you're using traditional banks that is the case.

I do not know of any traditional lenders who will give money on a home that cannot be insured.

What makes a self-directed IRA custodian different is that they are not purely connected to the public exchanges and limited to investing in stocks, bonds and funds, but rather have the staff training and paperwork to document the IRA's investment in the more individualized transactions that occur when investing in real estate, notes and other non-traditional assets.

Hard money lenders or non traditional banks?

I am looking to begin investing in the Indianapolis area with a SFH with traditional financing, etc.

I see many investors that traditionally pursue more volatile markets pursue OKC to bring more predictability to their portfolios. 

I am currently serving in the Navy, and I am looking to increase our income and eventually not have to work a traditional job.
