@Scott Costello really active here on Bigger Pockets had set up his own site w/ a professional web developer who was great... but wasn't stellar at setting up a site that performs well... and it got ranked well and got some leads... but then he setup a Carrot site and gets 5x more leads through his Carrot site vs. his custom site.

Will the rents you get in cover the mortgage plus expenses (portion set aside for future repairs or cap-ex, maintenance, insurance, taxes) *and* produce cash flow?

We are set to close on 9/15- and now I am unsure.

We look forward to doing business with you in the near future and we hope to have our new website, business phone contacts and new email addresses set up in the near future.

If interested in learning more about us and a possible opportunity to become more involved with a real estate investment team, please message me and we can set up a time to talk.

This will help off-set some of your expenses and add to capital gains. 

However, this explains the lower prices for the intimate cabin setting that we are looking for.My investor wants something close to an services and attractions, hence opportunity for vacation rentals, when not used by the primary owner; but, still have the ability to provide a private intimate/eco-friendly setting for those wanting to get a way from it all.

How can I set myself up for a quick turnaround for a hard money loan.
