Facebook groups and other social media tools provide a good base to get under-the-radar contractors that might be searching a bit harder for work (and thus will be more motivated to give you a better deal via either time, money, or both).

Things like helping owners with using social media, writing better descriptions on Airbnb listings, or something else?

They see their life as surviving toward retirement, and when they get there, getting their Social Security payment and a Section 8 housing voucher.Well, it's almost impossible to get a Section 8 voucher if you have an eviction and an unpaid judgment by a landlord on your record.

Here is my plan, let me know if my logic is flawed or if I am missing an important component:- Make an offer of 70% of ARV minus construction costs. - Convince the seller to agree to a 6 months owner carry (lenders require a 6 months "seasoning" before I can refi) - perform rehab, get tenants in place and get the place cash flowing- After 6 months refi. bank orders the appraisal.- I would provide income data and before-after pictures to convince the appraiser of the forced appreciation. - With the increased value I use the %30 equity as the "down payment" and wrap fees into the loan. - Pay Seller financing note off- If there is enough meat in the deal I would pull equity out to finance the next rehab.- Rinse and repeat for the next deal. 

This will tell you just about everything about them and their family. look at telephone numbers, addresses, social media. other business they are involved in, etc.. 

Not sure if this is the right section but I wanted to share some trends I am noticing in the Canadian mortgage market place CMHC insured rates are really low for owner occupied, with rates as low as 1.64% and commercial loans ranging between 2-4 %There are some B lenders offering unique programs with a return of stated income using only 6 month bank statements as proofAlso seeing a new High Net Worth program which provides almost no TDS component however LTV is maxed at 65% and additional equity is required65% HELOC and 80% mortgage is available from a couple of lenders.

I know this question is area specific but as rents and housing prices go up so does social pressure to keep your housing "affordable".

I'm filling out the title form and it's asking me for my social security number.

It may take time but I do believe humans are social beings that crave communities.

I didn't really hear from anyone in my social circles saying "I'm moving out because of crime and looting."
