Option B: In addition to 1-3 resident artists that rent the space monthly, also allow day-renters that can rent the studio for a higher premium but less commitment. 

I've been ghosting this forum for a few years and have committed to make 2019 the year to get my education together and buy my first property!

I just joined BP and committed.

There’s so much on the MLS’s other data collection sites that you’ll be allowed to use too.The caveat is, that you need to educate yourself on how to use the various software platforms and that takes time and commitment.

You get a degree of protection from that in case the market turns, but you miss out on working deeply inside of the RE industry to spot opportunities as soon as they appear.Regarding mentorship, I would set up chats with people in the RE industry, but don't make them too formal because people are short and time are wary of committing to a mentorship. 

😉I’m quite certain that I will be approaching a lender in the next few months about committing to either, but want someone’s real feedback on what they went through while utilizing this type of loan.

Before committing to an Adjuster, I would get in writing from the company why they have not paid the full amount. 

Some may say to explain to them that you have costs associated with their rental that need to be paid- but I don’t subscribe to that.As a federal employee I am very sympathetic to what your tenant is going through- but again- sounds like he is testing the waters.I would also add that I do not accept partial payment and if you do decide to give them a break I would have them, and the other tenant, execute a formal commitment for the money owed, for what and why so that you can go after them more easily when they decide to take their windfall back pay and upgrade their living arrangements.

I hate to say that, because I really saw a benefit to committing myself full time to being a realtor.  

We have a couple homes we are going to look at soon, but we are still new to this and I wanted an opinion before committing to anything.
