You can either give them notice per the lease, or institute a pet deposit policy and ask that they remit that in order to renew.

However, I have been told by some larger institutions that they do not lend under the $30,000 mark, which makes my financing plan difficult.So, I want to hear from the BP community: 1) What do you think about my deal, and 2) how would you go about financing it?

This includes buying loans from institutional lenders.

Wells Fargo has goofy overlays and more rigid requirements as do other larger institutions in my experience.

Hello everyone,

My name is Matt and I'm just getting started in real estate investing. I've been spending a lot of time on here reading, listening to the podcasts and trying to absorb as much as I can.

I have not had any luck with institutional financing on my paid for properties.

I direct mail private note holders, have contacts at institutions & reliable note funds plus I spent a great deal of time developing a referral network.

@Daniel DietzYardi is what the "institutional investors" would use to do analysis with IRR, NPV, sensitivity analysis etc.

Greetings to all, My name is Wesley Toma-Lee, and I and am from the Merrimack Valley area in Massachusetts.

I would check out the Urban Land Institute online courses.
