Hi BiggerPockets,I am seeking recommendations for a good attorney with experience on tenant related issues such as evictions. 

Do you want to set your target on absolute terms or relative terms?

I want have the passive income but I do think flipping would be nice to increase cash relatively quickly.

They leave it in the same account and then draw funds out of it when they need to for expenses which seems to defeat the point of a security deposit, unless of course the expenses are related to move out.

My mind frame at the time was to secure a quality tenant in a relatively short time and to get up to around market rent, if not slightly below.

It doesn't matter how many are involved, how much money or even if they're related to you.With your typical syndication structure, the passive investors are Limited Partners (LP) and you as the operator are the general partner (GP).

If you don't qualify for a loan and don't have close relatives to provide you with capital, your most likely option would be to sit down with the other side and figure something out.Explain why you don't qualify due to self-employment and discuss some ideas.

You will need to figure out your exit strategy - either sell the properties or donate them to a housing-related charity that is more prepared to provide this type of help.An obvious takeaway is that you cannot care more about someone's ability to keep a roof over their head than they themselves care.

My current employer here in New York is schooling me all about the business owning/running side of contractors, plus listening to contractor and business related podcasts and audiobooks.

Relatively new here and hoping to tap into wisdom of the group.
