I actually asked a local title company that I like and worked with before and asked them to host a class with an appraiser if possible.

A year ago I would have said self-management was a complete no-brainer because during the post-covid travel boom because most of the work could be automated and there wasn't that much to it other than putting your listing up and collecting the money, and a PM really cut into profits.Things have changed some since then where complacency in hosting leads to empty calendars after travel has cooled some. 

Quote from @Dan Host: @Sergey A.

I use carrot for hosting and management.

I host a monthly meet up in LA/OC.

My team hosts them, but you'll find a number posted here on BP as well as other online forums like meetup dot com.

Here are some options: 1) Attend the local RE Investing Meetup in your area (or contact the host of that meetup) and ask if there are any private lenders. 2) Consider using a hard money loan. 3) If you have a 401(k), you can borrow against that. 4) If you have after-tax brokerage stock accounts, you can take a margin loan and repay it.I'm sure there are more, but hopefully this is a good start to the discussion - look forward to seeing what others suggest. 

Is that followed by most hosts?

But the recoding of a land contract would act as a cloud on the title providing the buyer with a stronger position should worse come to worse.  

@Benjamin J HaithcoatI’d recommend you check out The Loan Officer Podcast, specifically Episode 141 titled “Credit, Credit Scores, Collections, and More”.The host interviews Mark Teta, who has served as the Regional Vice President of Certified Credit Reporting for the past 20+ years.He provides some GREAT insight on credit scores, credit reporting, and building credit, and he ties it in specifically with the mortgage industry and qualifying for mortgages.
