If the cosigner/guarantor owns real estate for example, any unpaid judgement will become a lien on that property and raise the odds significantly for eventually getting paid.If the cosigner/guarantor doesn't have assets like real estate to go after all they are offering you is a promise and last I checked you can't cash a promise!

The fact you bought down rates on your last mortgage has no affect on a new mortgage, even if it is from the same lender. 

We specialize in remodels in the North Lake Tahoe area and rarely take on projects in Truckee. 

Don’t assume they are valid, especially if your borrower uses unlicensed contractors, but understand what’s going on and what you might eventually contest or pay.Verify property taxes have been paid.

Based on what I see in the forums, cash flow markets are the hottest topic.

I'd also appreciate any recommendations on where I may be able to find furnished properties, existing Airbnbs, etc. for sale.

I'm new to real estate investment and looking for advice on rental investments in Massachusetts.

I wanted to introduce myself as I am incredibly anxious to step foot into the incredible world of REI and would love to know if there are any local investors that meet/would like to meet on a semi-regular basis.I currently have a full time job in outside sales in the Arvada area so I do a lot of driving around which enables me to spend a lot of my time listening to podcasts and educating myself but I would love to get to know some players within my local area to really dive deep into the subject and in which I could potentially be of value in the future.

Hey Miguel, congrats on what you've accomplished so far!

I am out of options on how to proceed.
