@Reginald Truss thanks for your reply.  My email address is [email protected].  I'd be open to $25K if the terms are reasonable.

@Stacey M. thanks for your feedback.  I'm always interested in talking with like-minded people about real estate more.  Message me and we can connect further.

@Chris Salerno these are the markets that @Adam Balsinger and I are focusing on in 2020.  Of the list below, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Atlanta are our biggest priorities.  It's interesting that you're focusing on Wilmington.  Perhaps you know something about it that I don't.

I'm looking for a private lender that will lend $20,000.  Terms can be discussed if there is serious interest.

@Chris Salerno one of my goals for 2020 is for @Adam Balsinger and I to do a deal with you.

@Luann Renteria I'm not experienced with Airbnb, but I do have some experience in the hospitality industry.  Nowadays, it's often easier to give a slight credit to a customer than it is to fight with them and then have them post negative information about you and your business online.  How much of a credit are they looking for?  If it's a nominal amount, it might be easier just giving it to them.  Was the low water pressure something that you were aware of before you listed the property for rent?

@Jackie Lankelis there's nothing wrong starting out with commercial.  However, it would be worthwhile to educate yourself as much as possible and perhaps to partner with somebody that has experience with the type of deals that you're looking to invest in because the risk is much larger than with smaller deals simply for the fact that you're playing in a bigger space (conversely, the reward is also much larger).

I personally started with multifamily deals and plan to stick with them, but I was fortunate enough to have worked for a commercial investor for 14 years and that experience taught me a lot about investing in them.  So my biggest recommendation is to start wherever you feel comfortable with.  It's not worth losing sleep over it at night if you're worried about getting involved with something that you're not properly prepared for yet.
