My recommendation is that yes, you need to read and learn about strategies in wholesaling (follow a reputable wholesaler with a track record,) but also how to deal with people and negotiations.

How do you keep track of who you've mailed?

I am thinking if a prospective tenant doesn't even come to a showing, I can't imagine tracking them down for rent every month, so once they no-show I cross them off my list. 

I am specifically looking for companies with a proven track record of transparency and competitiveness in their fee structures and excellent customer service.

if yes, do you have a team on the ground that you can trust and have good track record? 

Johnathon contrary to popular belief HML these days post GFC is just about as stringent as bank financing.you NEED money you NEED credit and you NEED experience.best way to start is to partner with someone who has the above and build your own experience bucket.you will not get a loan with the situation you described.

If, B: The seals are bad, replace them because this will then be a selling point, but go for the less expensive option because you have the nicer house on the street... putting more money into making it even more nicerer will be a waste... if that makes sense.Another option would be to say that you're giving the buyer an 8k credit towards windows of their choice (or they can pocket the money if they don't want to change them). 

You can borrow from bank (signature or Home Equity) private money, hard money or even put on a credit card.Then you wouldn't have to worry about the pool liability or tenants.Maybe your In-laws would front the money?

Credit cards, student loans, plain ole vanilla mortgages, etc. because they have somehow managed to mess all of these up at one time or another.

I have raised money, had done creative financing through credit cards at 0% interest rate, relationships with Hardmoney lenders, and have just started my pursuit with corporate credit andBig lines of credit.
