At an STR conference last year, I heard "you have to be prepared to spend $20K per room to make it in Disney". 

My understanding is that ALL loans are now required to have a conference with the lender to see if a Loan Modification will work.But, here is the difference: if you're talking about buying at auction, that is clearly defined and has a straight path.

:Purchased with a conventional loan (pretty sure I’m maxed out on financing this way now, especially with little income to show).Invested heavily up front: conferences, bootcamps, small groups, professional designer for full setup, studied comps, professional photographer, priced strategically/dynamic pricing.I work two jobs (foreclosure auctions + hotel), so hospitality is something I genuinely love and plan to stick with long-term.              

I was at a lending conference in Orlando this weekend and a fund/lender I know from NY sought me out to ask about a property in the area.

-----First: A public service announcement....Will you be in Las Vegas next week at the Bigger Pockets Conference?

I've got a ton of experience in foreclosures and speak at conferences about it, but even my real estate lawyer is on speed dial.

Additionally, Powell’s comments during his press conference, which can be more important than the rate decision itself, were not as dovish, ie, there was low certainty in his words that there would be future rate cuts.

If its performing notes, fred and tracey are great to follow. they are also participating in the papertrail conference coming up in september where they are providing a ton of content on seller financing and performing notes. 

I only got comfortable with the one we worked with (LoanBidz) by meeting them at a conference, a few long conversations and researching them.

Before I knew it, I was featured on the news and have been speaking about the house at conferences, etc.
