I am looking for a real estate investor meet up in the general Providence Rhode Island area.

@Joseph Cacciapaglia does have a good point, but I would say that the military base is a pretty consistent employer.

I’m consistently getting my clients 20%+ Cash on Cash Returns on Short Term Rentals in our area.

To maximize the number of transactions you’re involved in you will need to:Be Top of Mind when they think about moving - which requires consistent reminders.Be seen as an Expert – which requires a consistent message and Evidence of Success storiesGain their Trust – which requires communicating integritySo, start out by listing everyone you know in an Excel spreadsheet.

But its pretty consistent the way they walk folks through a progression to get them comfortable.the other thing they will do is say the reason they can do this is there is Insurance that you will buy in case yo cant make the payments.and of course there is no insurance for private loans :)  so they just steal that money as well.  

that is a min hotel. lol do you have a policy against having guest or if one of your tenants consistently had their gf/bf over?

It's more important that you can show consistent income over the last two years.

I am hesitant to inform him before he pays rent.Being a "nice guy" and being a "good tenant" are two completely different things.He's consistently late on rent and he's difficult to coordinate maintenance.

Use the phase, "We accept all applications" and have your selection criteria very public and stay consistent across the board.  

Don't allow financing or a finance contingency (it can be a good indication they are selling above market value) Don't allow for your own independent property inspection Are not realistic with their pro forma's (i.e. they don't include vacancy or maintenance projections or use unrealistically low vacancy factors) Require you to pay for any renovation upfront Sell only in cheap. low end neighborhoods Don't accurately represent the neighborhood/property classification Don't have consistent rehab standards for all properties Don't provide a scope of work for the property Can't provide references of repeat investors Hope this helps.
