@Allen Lopez Pen Fed will do a Heloc at 80% LTV on a rental if it's held in your name, not in an LLC and you have 3 properties or less including your primary. 12 year draw, tied to prime + 1%, no closing costs unless a physical site visit appraisal is needed, if closed within 24 months they will back charge the fees they waived in opening your Heloc ($400-$600), you choose I/O payments or P/I payments. 

Right now we do cash, and we write them a physical receipt.

I guess you might actually need a physical person to turn the place over for you or clean and prep.

Also businesses tend to cut back on travel meetings and holding conventions in a physical space.That can all lead to decreased revenue for hotels.

As long as I can physically see my investments, I have some sort of psychological ease of mind.

For not, I am an Infantry Officer but one of the rare ones that during my first five years (the most rigorous physically) I am still without any real wear and tear on my body so I can't/wouldn't count on disability really adding any income I don't think. 

The only way you can look up distressed properties is by mortgage failures and that doesn't necessarily translate to distressed properties in the physical way.

If I am physically there, I like to do the repairs myself, but I understand that can be a daunting task if you aren't handy.

It also has an option for physical key in case of connectivity issues. 

Hi everyone,I've been reading the book "Real Estate Rookie" by Ashley Kehr, this one chapter about Partnerships states that the things you can "bring to the table" are Equity, Sweat Equity, Debt, and Capital.Equity: your stake or share of ownership in a companySweat Equity: performing physical labor in exchange for a share of the company or the property's ownershipDebt: assuming the risk by having the mortgage in your nameCapital: providing cash to start the investmentMy question is, for a FIX & FLIP, is it a good strategy to look for a contractor as a partner who will be doing the active work/sweat equity while we use my name to loan from a Hard Money Lender?
