I cannot think of anything  I have a duplex that I found out a month ago that at some point in the past the property kitty corner had the units converted to condo and the owner is selling both units individually.  

I realize they must have done this and think this is likely the reason they have not inquired about the security deposit.

I am thinking of getting STR in Indiana within 1 hr driving distance from Illinois.

We don't advertise that we're looking for a certain criteria guest - I think that opens up too much liability for discrimination.

We're thinking we'll need a buyer's agent, a lawyer in Tampa, and a inspector to do pre-inspections before we ever decide to put in an offer.

Kinda a weird situation I think.

I think people need to realize, if they are not going to go hunt for their own food and have it served to them, then they will pay more, just like going to a restaurant - so expecting 11%+ for someone to find the deal is still around, but expectations should be lower.

I think your best bet is to go with a Correspondent Lender like we are because we can get you multiple offers to ensure you get the best rates and terms available for your scenario.The best lender is going to depend on the qualifications of the borrower, the property and tenant type as well as some of the specifics of the lending scenario.For the Borrower:1.

Doing a quick Google search for lumber yards you seem to have a few options in Indianapolis.That's how I recently found a drywall guy - I called a drywall supply place (thinking they were contractors) and asked them to give me a bid.
