Any experience investing and renting out in Indiana, PA

In my experience, if you don't have that edge, you will likely struggle at active investing and you are better off in syndications.

Hi @Joe Villeneuve I've been reading this thread and following a number of threads where you've commented, I enjoy your post greatly as you're very direct.

It was a very bad experience for me that could have been easily avoided if they had any professionalism and commitment to doing what they advertise they do.

To sum up my experience, my commercial mortgage loan originations are booming; we’re getting 12.75 - 13.5% interest with 4 points for 12 month loans at 40-60% LTV.The purchase of existing loans from lending institutions has dried up for us, as buyers are offering more than we feel is warranted, and they are buying “dubious” assets.  

In my experience, having a hot-tub can only help.

Here's my experience and understanding of the law about security deposits.You cannot hold back money for anything that is normal wear and tear.  

We enjoyed our lake house for many years, but it has been very idle for the last 2 years. 

You may get some people off the bat who won't want to take on the project.I'd also recommend having a timeline in mind for how quickly you want to get the project done and asking each contractor if they have other trades they have experience working with and like working with. 

I know that to get there I need 1) more experience and 2) more capital.
