This podcast and blog has been a tremendous asset for me and my team!

Read the forums and the blogs.

I've compiled a list of such lenders over the years for my clients so hopefully this will be a good resource for you as well:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/2810/50272-lis...

If you can manage to stay under the 4 financed units and take advantage of rising values, and low interest rates and purchase properties with a modest amount of needed repairs, you should are managing your growth appropriately. ( at least from my perception of what your real estate strategy is)Equity is a perception unless you use it.

Have them at signing so they understand all the expectations and that they are ultimately responsible.We've been burned once - http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/4445/blog_posts...But we are in a situation right now where the dad is paying for all of his daughters financial shortfalls.

If these sites are fairly new to you I wrote a blog post here in BP that will help answer questions many people have about these sites that you may find helpful: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/6630/blog_posts/44315-auctioncom-hubzu-and-homesearch--what-you-have-to-know

I don't do linkdin personally but I can imagine that's a hot bed as well.maybe one of the current HML can write a blog on the reality of HML by area of the country.rates DO vary by area of country... for instance it is possible to get a 8 to 9 % interest rate in CA for a HML But your not going to get that in most of the other areas of the country.. there is just a huge amount of deals chasing CA properties etc etc.the other thing for folks to think about is RATE is many times determined by experience and long term relationships with your lenders.. folks doing their first few deals or first one are not going to get the premier rates.One should simply pop on lendinghome's web page they have a nice metric all spelled out on how they teir their rates. you can get 8 or 7% from them.. with big down and PROOF that you have done a few Hundred deals.. etc etc. but when you look at low down and limited deals you will be at 12% or higher..

Yes, as the person above mentioned, start the eviction process right away, it may be faster for you to try to evict him for illegal drug use instead of non-payment of rent.I had to evict a tenant through the LTB, if you have any questions PM me.http://ontariolandlordandtenantlaw.blogspot.ca/ - Good blog for free infoI disagree with the above mentioned post on "persuading him" with friends to move.
