I am considering keeping my current personally owned home/farm and renting it as horse owner property. already completely set for 2-4 horses. my personal interest rate on the property is 2.6% and I don't want to loose it.

Plus you can call them when they area bottle deep and ask for some personal referrals!

Hi Gustavo, it really varries for each person.

There is a new property management company in place now and I had my onboarding call with them last week and they walked me through every step of how they will be handling repairs, late payments, evictions and maintenance.Really happy with the whole process.

The average person can totally achieve financial independence easily with education, self-discipline, and consistency. 

So instead of paying the bank for a home equity line of credit on my first home and paying them interest, I was able to use a personal loan to myself via my employer 403b and pay myself back with interest. 

Personally, I like the all-in-one units but they are expensive and poorly suited for larger units where it will take forever to get a load of laundry done (since you can't move the clothes from the washer to the dryer).

I got quoted $1490 yearly cost plus a $30/mo retainer to have unlimited access to my personal real estate accountant.  

My personal and professional experience has been that they do not provide actual replacement costs in their evaluations. 

I've personally worked with a handful of "investor-friendly" lenders, primarily on DSCR loans in recent years, and each time I've run into significant delays, lack of transparency about the process, have been fed the requirements in a piecemeal fashion (every few days there's a new random request rather than having it all organized from the start), and have even run into lenders who were substantially misinformed about the real estate industry or the laws that govern it on both a local and federal level.I think there should be a better site to encourage accountability by tracking how long it actually takes each lender to close their loans on average, and what unexpected hurdles investors encounter when trying to work with them.I can't seem to find such a site.
