However, I applied to Furnishedfinder in person and listed the apartment as a sublease.

And what I am personally seeing the Market place today.Commercial bank/ community bank were you have significant deposit relationship and long term relation ship..   7 to 10% plus 1/2 to 1.5 points.. these are relationship and experience and capacity lenders..

I admit it's not sexy and it's slow, but it works.If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy a personal home with 3-5% down then repeat every 12-18 months.

These areas are all great and growing really fast, in my personal opinion.

The borrower should have good experience in fixing up the property and working with a solid realtor who can get the properties sold quickly. 

It sounds like you have a solid plan in place.

If you haven’t educated yourself on general investment strategy, then I would say that you likely haven’t maximized your personal business either.

Cash flow is a little bit more difficult to find right now, but appreciation is solid.

I chose to build my PM business from ground.To create a working system and to organize processes is difficult in the beginning, but to my experience it is possible to create a working model based on personal knowledges and then to provide a high level of service to the clients.

Or steps  Never recommeneded if I was the GC as what if the person does not sell the home or it sells for less than what they owe the bank and the GC?
