@Loren Souers I'd have to run the specific scenarios with the rates and fees, but if you're OK with paying the higher closing costs, the Mortgage 1 deal looks good, particularly if you focus on CoC returns.

Whichever strategy you choose, ensure you're adhering to IRS rules about prohibited transactions and working with experienced professionals to structure deals properly.Regarding non-recourse hard money lenders in San Antonio, I don’t have specific recommendations.

There is risk for the landlord in being added as an insured though - specifically if the tenant and landlord are opposed in a matter. 

Specifically, Sections 4735.18(A)(24), 4735.18(A)(27) and 4735.18(A)(30) require a host of recordkeeping, reporting, and trust and security obligations, all of which we have reason to believe have been neglected by Jeff Swiecicki in connection with the Property Management Agreements.My attorney is still in communication with Jeff Swiecicki and we intend to litigate if he fails to return funds immediately.Based on these factual events and Jeff Swiecicki’s continued unprofessional and deceptive behavior, it is my strong recommendation to avoid doing business with him or any business associated with him.

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

This doesn't replace the need for a MSA that will capture additional clauses needed on a Contractor-SubContractor relationship, this is just a project specific form you would use in addition to the MSA (prepared by your Attorney):This template is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Specifically I think a lot about the smells that travel through the duct work between the units.

When faced with scenarios like this, it's tough to answer such a specific question with limited information. 

Calling @ Nat Love:)Your BP colleagues are waiting to hear the specifics as to why you say the course is working for you.

But before I even get into identifying specific properties, I need to first get smarter about some of the other things I put in my post.
