If you don’t have that experience, the lender willing to take the risk will be charging you for it (much higher rates) and that increases risk to you and your investors even further.Gurus will tell you that they can solve these problems for you.

Curious about potentially investing some of our tenant security deposits in CD's.

Hi, I'm Didi, an out-of-state investor looking to expand my international portfolio in Louisville.I think Louisville is a great city and has tremendous potential. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

@Christian Weber You will have potential due on sale risks, even though small.

@Jan GatesI suggest you seek the advice of an experienced note investor and possibly some legal advice to get a broader understanding of the process, the risks, and the costs involved, and then determine if the investment makes sense.

Putting together a solid team will reduce risks and expedite your investing process.Establish Specific Goals: Whether your goal is to increase your wealth through real estate, attain financial independence, or generate passive income, clearly define your investing objectives.

I charge a deposit based on tenant risk levels.

Where to start with guidance and then drilling down what my personal potential is?

It's going great and has no loss potential.
