Hi @Xina Rim nice to meet you, Scaling out-of-state can be challenging, but having the right support makes a huge difference.

I feel like I dodged a huge bullet and learned not totrust the buyers or my listing agent, in other words, don't trust anyof them.ShouldI study up and learn how to sell the home myself or try hiring anagent again?

And just 1 extra payment a year has a HUGE outsized impact on slaughtering down amortization curve. 

The speed and flexibility of private lending is huge right now, especially when deals need to close quickly.

On top of that, huge companies like Intel, Meta, Google, and Amazon are expanding in the area, boosting the city’s economy, job market, and population continues to grow stronger.

LTR is huge in Montclair.   

To be transparent I had disorganized mess of paper notes, receipts and spreadsheets - it was a huge stressor. 

Finding a good contractor is tough even when you're local, so vetting them from afar is a huge priority. 

On our side we are both a direct lender and broker for DSCR to find which rates/fees might be most beneficial for your situation, when we handle things directly for you no application, origination, or broker fees of any kind and then Underwriter, processor, assistant all in the same office to streamline the process.

STRs are not my main income so that can make a difference but regardless I'm always looking for the exit strategy and hesitate to purchase anything with a huge red flag when it comes to resale.
