I am neither a real estate agent or a lender OR  a property manager for money.  

If you are a PML or Money Partner, what do you look for when someone brings you a "deal"?

What you are proposing is the classic money loss situation unfortunately.

Thank you for this information, I am assuming by non-conventional you mean hard money, bridge loan, etc. 

Tax preparers usually charge another $500 to prepare the 3115 calculation schedules per property so that saves you money.  

It was during this challenging time that I made a decision to prioritize saving money on a monthly basis.

It can provide some decent money with little work.

Investment Info:Other private money loan investment.

I mean I have invested a pretty good amount of money in this property already that I can really those 2k right now.
