@Mary AinsworthFor my flipping business, I prefer to use fewer software programs to streamline things.

Some agents even specialize in foreclosure properties.In some cases, banks may prefer to facilitate short sales if they believe it will result in a higher selling price than foreclosure.

My preference would be to rename that LLC and exclude the absent partner.

I prefer to do online.

Personally, I'd prefer getting in with the Boston market over Jersey, and would not count of prices dropping drastically anytime soon.

Would obviously have preferred to use a third party but this accomplishes exactly what I need - a birds eye view of the profitability each month without have to re-enter operational and tenant data into my own system when the property manager is already tracking this information. 

Mike, Welcome to the 'club'.We worked with HOA and PUD when we first niched to real estate. 

In contrast, private lenders focus more on the value of the asset, offering faster, more flexible loans for projects like fix-and-flips or rentals, which can be crucial in time-sensitive deals.It really boils down to your priorities and preferences.

If you are trying to maximize space you may want to consider convertible sofas and/or one that has a pull out option.As far as material my preference would be a darker neutral color microfiber that would be easier to clean.Possibly most important is looking for one that is commercial grade for durability.

Only tech and big business with cash can survive.i am actually still bullish to syndication but only for niche selective asset class like warehouse or self storage, as common industrial trends are going towards more consolidation of business.... and their IRR is still 20-30% conservatively.But yea in MF there's no creativity, they are selling the same Kentucky Fried Chicken,Alabama fried chicken, with almost no creativity and no innovation.In general I think we could hold that true of the lack of innovation business wide the last many years. ai is a great example.
