But figured I'd start with my most pressing. 

Square readers are sold in Lowe's stores at the counter down here in SA, so in my opinion there's no reason for a squared away (pardon the pun, I swear it was accidental) contractor to have to make you chase them across town to deliver a check.

But you are probably going to be hard pressed to find a private lender to lend on your own primary residence, at least legally. 

Thanks for the share and will have to press a little more into that territory to test the waters!

I'd be hard pressed to get better terms, even with an FHA first time homebuyer.   

And while you can build a rental portfolio without a lot of cash or credit through creative financing - seller financing or subject to - most people with out a lot of cash or credit want to wholesale.Now if you want to wholesale, you could accidentally do it right the first time, but you could also do a lot of things wrong and make a lot of people mad at you.  

And it's free.The other 2 are for my company (day job) and we have a dial-by-name directory, different directory options (think "press 2 for support"), and personal extensions.  

I've accidentally rented a house twice, and just sold my first for what unintentionally turned into a profitable flip (long story!).

I am seeing lots of people get into the business, but also "accidental landlords" are selling houses to home buyers which is reducing rental inventory.

Until he proved me wrong, I'd go into this expecting a sales pitch of one sort or another.Not saying I wouldn't meet him, but I'd be prepared to politely cut the meeting short if it turned out to be a full-press sales pitch.
