A tenant who doesn't follow the rules detailed in your lease agreement is a problem for your business.

i think having 'discovery calls' with multiple brokers/lenders is always a good idea. see what loan products they can offer you, what their rates are like (but note that many tell you one thing & ultimately have to close you at another), and most importantly make sure you have a good gut feeling about them. make sure they're responsive and want to educate you & don't try to win your business by sh*tting on other lenders. it weirds me out that the person you talked to had said what they said. to my knowledge, rate shopping & getting your credit pulled for it multiple x in one 30-day span is just fine. all those hard inquiries fall off anyway. it's worth it to get a great loan product and a great rate. and they're wrong - not all lenders have the same products to offer!

Selfstorage is busy during development then slow doing rental.  

On the other hand, some loans require LLC vesting such as commercial business purpose loans.Happy to help.

My wholesale business mightly improved when I started allowing my buyers to provide their own inspection or send their contractors.

My business partner and I are brand new to real estate investing but not new to housing.

I'm curious to hear about when your business went from being funded by your friends and family to being funded by your broader professional network. 

My CPA had a letter in my tax prep documents that says that those with W-2 income can't deduct business mileage anymore.This is the first I had heard of this.

I am a new investor and I am in the early phases of putting a team together to break into the Cleveland, Ohio Market.I would really appreciate it if you could please post or DM those PM's/Real Estate Agents/Lenders you would recommend (and also those to avoid).I know PM's could make or break your business, so that would be the priority; I would however like to get contacts for Real Estate Agents and Lenders as well.I would also appreciate if you could share your experiences, knowledge (areas to invest; areas to avoid), general tips etc.Thank you in advance!

It can be all about who you know in this business.
