@Chris Seveney I just hired one on a trial basis and they asked to be named as additional insured on my homeowners insurance.
That was a hard no from my end. They said it was “industry standard” which,after some calls, I found to not be verifiable.

@Todd Nelson look into velocity banking. With a first position heloc on that debt, you may be able to pay it off really quickly using your cash flow. I was given this resource www.lifechangerloan.com.
I’m trying to position myself to do this as well. Whatever you decide, we’ll done. You have some great options!!
Post: Landlord tenant attorney in Washington

I’m looking for a good landlord tenant attorney in Washington for leases, consults and keeping up with changing laws. It would be a plus if they are well versed in evictions. I don’t need that at the moment but want someone in the event I do.
It would be an added plus I’d they worked with short term rentals.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

My daughter and her significant other got 3 of them and they have had 2 biting issues with humans, 3+ within the pack (one is old) and 1 where they attacked someone else’s dog.
I don’t know how they escaped lawsuits and seizure of these Pit bulls but somehow they have.
The dogs are sweet most of the time but they require strong pack leadership, a ton of exercise and can be triggered suddenly and without warning. Because they are so strong, the damage they can do is intense.
Post: Refinancing a rental on 1099

I have a rental that is financed on a conventional loan at 5.65%. I was approached by the lender on another property to lower the interest rate to 3.31%.
I got all the way to appraisal and would not accept my income type of 1099. I just started contracting in May through an agency. I am literally doing the exact same job I’ve been doing but I now get paid more and cover my own insurances. I did incorporate.
Are there lenders that might offer a lower interest rate without charging thousands of dollars or am I stuck until I have 2 years of 1099 income?
Post: Hard money for a fixer

I started my own business in May so I am not aware of any conventional loan options. I have a bit of cash for a small down, but I’d love to find a wholesale property using hard money, fix it up and refinance.
What would you advise as the best way to locate the wholesale property?
Hard money loans?
Are they any programs you’d recommend to learn how to do this?
Thank you!!!

@John Buffet if your IRA has a loan program, you can borrow against it and pay yourself back. Mine was prime plus one percent for a regular loan and amortizated over a longer period for a home
Purchase. Check with the terms of your investment plan.

@Scott Mac Dads hoarding won’t go away just because the stuff does. And getting the stuff out of the house will be really stressful. Trying to do a deal with him is probably not a great idea in my opinion.
