Quote from @Brandon Lee: I’ve noticed more investors leaning on private money in today’s climate while others still prefer traditional loans.If you had to choose one for your next deal, would you go with private or traditional — and why? 

Hi BP Community 👋🏾I’m exploring sober living investing and came across the Sober Living Riches program by Andrew Lamb.

Quote from @Seth McGathey: @Rich Chen thanks.

In some markets, short-term rentals can significantly outperform traditional leases.For the best returns, look for areas with strong job growth, low vacancy rates, and landlord-friendly regulations.

Traditional methods and that much cash might be a barrier.

Thank you again sir Rich, don't feel bad a 1st lien HELOC to accelerate paying off the home is very difficult to understand, and I sometimes struggle to explain it well - some people use that to try and spin a falsehood that it's a better solution than a traditional mortgage - I disagree.Do you have a mortgage now?

Most of the horror stories you hear are because people see gurus promising quick riches and the investor discounts any risk. 

Imagine that being your pitch to get hired for a traditional job.

Welcome to BP @Rich Benkleman.Great to have you joined us.

- Were the cash flow metrics tough to meet compared to traditional approvals?
