I'm using sites like airdna to help analyze deals but would like a little tip on how to navigate local licensing (if needed or not) and how I could maybe start one in Madison specifically what hoops I need to jump through?

I'm running my numbers with a furniture budget so this is a possible direction. 

if you have BP Pro, there are lease agreements for each state prepped by state-specific attorneys!

Feel free to reach out to discuss our specific lending programs.

Agreed I think if there is specifics of a guru program to discuss then thats OK good or bad..

You can typically get in the property with 10-20% down and the rehab budget would be included so you can pull from the rehab budget as you go along.

Provide specific details about your ideal rehab process and your expectations.

Appreciate some feedback.I had a tenant, ironically also in Gaithersburg (hope it’s not the same person because she was a pain in the *** lol) but she wanted a new carpet we paid half, she paid her half via us uppping the rent $50 over what it otherwise would have been, so that’s always a creative option, however I wouldn’t want gas at my property if I could avoid it, always a risk of a leak or worse so I’d probably lean towards saying no to this specific request. 

I would get really specific on that, not "I want to make money" or " I want passive income".

Is there a specific reason why you are looking for a non-recourse loan?
