@Seth WilliamsWith excellent good credit

@Michael Noto @Theresa Harris Excellent advice.

It's been an excellent way to network and connect with people in that space as we invite guest speakers to present. 

@Clark ZukerDefinitely going after off market properties especially niche lists like pre-foreclosure probate, vacant is the fastest way to scale.

Sounds like you have a few options, which is a good place to be.A) normally this can be a good option because it's a good use of leverage, and also the fastest way to scale (1 becomes 2, becomes 3, and so on until you own a nice portfolio of rentals) How much cash will you be able to pull out with refinance? 

your suggestion to make it a condition of sell is excellent but only if given at time of offer or within the option period to back out.  

It sounds like that would be a method you could excel at. 

If you don't communicate clearly, you'll never excel in your business.Again, sorry if that's harsh, but it is the truth.

Excellent goals!

There are also not a lot of property managers out there that excel at the rent by the room model.The second way is to plan for it when looking at properties and finding ones that can be easily separated off and turned into two units (say basement and top floor), then by adding a kitchen to the separate area you can rent both areas, instead of the whole home as one.
