I asked Hostaway about this and they said it's better to have one bank account where all the money is going into, such as my business bank account.

I want to broker loans but I will have to find another way to spend my money.

I would invest into the furnishings and spending time marketing to try and get quality tenants in place.Let me know what you think of this strategy, anything and everything is welcome for advice or stories of your experiences in this arena. - JD 

To win, think about spending money on good resources, reading books by top investors, and finding a mentor.

One thing is certain as an investor you don't want you money held up in the court confirmation process for a few months.Your interest is in purchasing the probate property from the Executor/Administrator as long as they claim IAEA powers and filing Notice of Proposed Action.

Originally I had planned to get the required permits from the city, but I had a contractor that I work with recommend to not go through the time, money, and headache of the permitting process since it's my primary residence and I can most likely "get away" with it.

Basically, stop wasting your time pining over a house that you sold and got money for and take your money and buy something else and make it better.Emotional attachment to real estate is a money pit every time.

inspections can be uber frustrating in older homes..I know when we build new construction buyers have inspections and there is always a laundry list.its their job.you can refuse and move on.. its not common by the time the folks go into contract and spend money on inpsections and apprsials and such they usually will move forward if you address major issues.you can always put in your counter offer you will only address major issues any thing that is only for the benefit of long term ware and tear your not dealing with.. kind of set expectations up front.

@Jon Young What are you looking to spend in these cities your interested in?

I owe 400k on the house, so about 300k worth of equity just sitting there.1.I can get a HELOC and use the money for BRRRR, the problem is, I can't find anyone that is giving out loans for investment properties, I have tried most banks, up to PenFed, nothing so far.2.
