The seller called me in response to a post card.

Shopping for a home without a pre-approval is like going shopping at the mall with a credit card but not knowing your available credit.

She's always been on a month to month lease so we kept that the same, but I only agreed to that once we the rent was raised. she was paying 900 and I rose it to 1200.

For a 2 flat I'd ballpark at least $215/mo unmeteredYou also mentioned doing some TLC to raise rents.

Hi @John Smith, in answer to your question, "Yes", there is a regulation dictating when you can raise funds from non-accredited investors. 

I've found Reg D corporate formation more expensive to raise and like how the 2012 Jobs act has updated Crowdfunding under new SEC rules to unaccredited investments under a corporate reg CF+ filing new entities can raise up to $5 million per year and under A+ that requires more extensive reporting the new limits are $75 million per year.

A few month's ago the furnace had to be replaced, that would have brought my balance down lower than the mortgage amount (so I paid it on my personal card but kept receipt).

Im trying to purchase my first SFR rental in OKC. 20% down, <$135k, C Neighborhood, 3bed, Near Turnkey.Inventory is awful, as to be expected.Interest rates are slowly inching up with the Fed expected to raise rates in a few weeks timeMeanwhile inflation has been CHEWING away at my cash for half a year and continues to accelerate. 

Purchase price is $283K, I do believe I can raise rents a few hundred dollars if updating is done.
