If your current home takes longer to sell, make sure you’re comfortable with the HELOC payments in the meantime.

But you will never be more comfortable and be able to handle more curveballs than in your own backyard.

This also gives our clients a great sense of comfort knowing that they will be in good hands. 

You've just got to trust that you did your homework, you're comfortable with the city and it's projected growth and stability, and then go for it. 

Who chooses growth over comfort!

It stretched me beyond just writing a check — I had to think about how financing, cash flow, and title work across multiple properties interact.Challenges & Lessons Learned (as the funding partner):Title coordination: Watching the operators juggle multiple closings at once gave me an appreciation for how complex portfolios can be compared to single deals.Cash flow management: I saw firsthand how critical it is to plan rehab draws carefully when several properties are in motion at the same time.Exit flexibility: From the lender’s seat, I realized how valuable it is when operators have multiple exit strategies (hold, refinance, sell individually).

If I do accept TRA, some of the personal info requested, I do not feel comfortable submitting through the tenant.

A few questions that go a long way are:• What’s the real cost once you include points, fees, and any extensions• How quickly they can close and what they need from you to keep things moving• Whether they’re open to a seller carryback or subordinate financing• What the exit path looks like and if they’re comfortable with you refinancing into DSCR or bank debt later• What their process is if the appraisal comes in lower than expectedMost people forget to ask these and end up stressed later.

I’m looking to build a solid relationship with someone who understands the BRRRR-style model and is comfortable working with this type of tenant setup (sober living, structured housing).Appreciate any insights or recommendations, especially from those who’ve built strong lender relationships over multiple deals.

If the numbers work and I’ve got a solid next move lined up, I’m way more comfortable pulling the trigger—even if rates aren’t perfect.
