@Donald S.  It took me years to build up that war chest so I can deploy it and do it the right way.  There is something to be said if you have the discipline to save up.  In the meantime, you build your knowledge around it and keep growing and learning.  I think developing expertise in other areas and then coming into real estate with your own experience and perspective allows you to get the 3.75% deals.  Your life experiences are what differentiate you from all the other real estate investors out there.  Use that as a weapon.  When the time comes, you go in with a bang!  Keep climbing!

@James W..  I like the way you think. I did my worst case scenario stress test.  By the end of the term, I would have paid off enough principal that I would not be too worried about being able to refinance again if I held it that long.  I also assumed that the cap rate would get worse for me when I sell because of the higher interest rates in the future.  With all this factored in, it is a great return for me 25%+.

@Steve Vaughan Hi Steve. Thanks! I hold title in a LLC. The LLC is a good structure because you get pass through status. Also the requirements to maintain are a little bit less onerous than a corporation. It mitigates the risk. The one advantage over a corporation is that if you are personally sued, they can go after your shares of the corporation but they cannot take your ownership in a LLC. Both entities provide protection inside the entity. Hope that helps.

@Joe Splitrock  Sure.  I negotiated $4MM loan with the seller.  The term was for 10 years.  Amortization of 30 years.  Interest rate of 3.75%.

@Carlos Casanueva I wouldn't do the deal either but let me offer this food for thought. There is no cookie cutter way to look at a deal. For example, in the case where an investor is buying an unoccupied property to rehab it and then reposition it, then that property would have a zero NOI. He or she is not going to get that property for free. There is a price that the investor is willing to pay for it depending on their risk profile. If you were to value this investment, you would have to base it on a forecast and discount it for the risk associated with hitting the forecast. Not saying this is what you or I may do but the point is that there is more than one way of looking at an investment and only time will tell if that investor made the right choice.

@Richard Naimy I have some episodes on my channel on YouTube (Luke Chung) that gives my advice on how to look for properties and what markets.  If you are interested, check out Episode 12 and Episode 43.  Hope that helps.
