Obviously my private lender was repaid in full and I had to eat the overage out of my funds. 

We have run into the same issue of trying to find properties to continue growing or portfolio of rental properties; whenever something does come available they are usually over priced if they are in decent condition or are too far gone to make it worth putting the time into renovate.Our biggest concern at the moment is that we are starting to find that we have too many eggs into one basket.

They would provide CNAs and other medical professionals dressing, eating, cleaning, etc and other basic living and health and medical services.I'm interested in connecting with anyone who's successfully converted SFRs or MFs into independent living community rentals.What's been your experience?

Determine if there's any merit to pursue, first.If you don't have a relationship with a title insurance company (who could easily provide this) either go to or access your county recorder's records to determine if any mortgage(s) or other encumbrances (liens) that affect title and eat up the equity you are pursuing.

@Dustin Lewis I'm sure you have heard the saying give a fish and a guy eats for a day, teach to fish and he eats forever.

For me that's putting too many eggs in one basket and if anything I would look to sell of several of them.

I have to chose between rent and investing in my skills, eating healthy and maintaining my car for auditions, so on and so forth.I always thought I'd have to go through this until I got a really good pay day, and then I read Rich Dad Poor Dad.

An unexpected problem just eats up your free cash for the month.
