Because of his experience, he knows plenty of people that he has worked with in the past that I would hire to renovate.

Pros and Cons of renting to young people besides the few I can think of on my own ?

Since you're just starting out, look for credit cards designed for people with limited or no credit history.

I'd love to put you in contact with these people and start marketing your services to them, I have done this maybe 40 times now with my current lenders and i typically just add my payment into the HUD and the borrower pays it, this service wouldn't cost you anything.

Attend meetups and meet as many people in RE as you can.

I have a preliminary call in a few minutes with a person that wants to get into private lending and wants to engage our loan consulting side to assist.

A lot of people only think about the short term, and how they can benefit now, rather than how they can set themselves up in the future.

They will have lists of people that have been looking at THEIR rentals and may be willing to help advertise yours for a fee (assuming you want to manage it yourself).
