Depending upon their criteria, and your borrower's needs, you can become an affiliate to many companies.

All they asked of me was to open up a Credit Karma account so they can look at my personal credit score.

Two points, my credit score is high, I have assets and liquidity, so qualifying for lending should not be an issue.Appreciate any input. 

It depends on your goals and the interest rate.If your goal is to invest in more assets, and you have a low mortgage rate, why not take advantage of current 5%+ treasury money market returns (Vanguard has a couple with good returns and very low fees).

@Merritt Harris I think it depends on your definition of "top" broker in a market. 

I would assume that management is definitely a con but the cash flow can be so much better depending on where you invest.

It depends on where you are, HOA laws are local.

The cleaning fee should be charged to and paid for by the guests.How much information they give you probably depends on the company and your contract with them.As for occupancy rates, we usually have just the weekends booked with an occasional mid week stay in Jan and Feb.

.- Property now rented for $1000 per mth- Current Value Estimates: Redfin - $114K, Trulia - $113K, Zillow: $113K; still doing research on comps because the area is hit and miss so last I saw was a projected $100K***************************************************************************************************************************- Navy Federal Credit Union say they can do 65% of original purchase price in cash out refinance - $34K- Hard-money lender offered $30K at 9.9% for 6 months as rehab loan, which I'd use to replace roof, windows, doors, and cutdown at few trees;  then cashout refi for 50% of the appraised value between 6 and 9 % depending on personal credit.

We are fortunate to have our 12-acre property and house fully paid off, with a credit score in the 800s and minimal outstanding debt.
