I already anticipate that there will be challenges--all a part of this process of growth in this process if being a rehabber.

You're right, everyone should just be pessimistic in anticipation of the next crash and keep their money stashed under their mattress, letting inflation beat them. 

aloha Andreyother potential asset classes are NNN commercial, mobile homes, self-storage, strip malls, and moremy strategy is to ladder anticipated closing dates, and diversify across asset classes and areas of the countrythis also allows me to have different syndication teams, so I am not relying on a few key playersalohasteveps- I've heard syndications referred to as (tongue in cheek, but it applies to you and me) "REI for doctors and dentists"

Anticipate having to possibly having to go to court with regard to tracking the timeline of events, timeline, expenses, etc.  

We don't anticipate this changing for a while as new home build are decades behind and in Phoenix in particular, we are still seeing strong inbound migration.Credit quality is good, thanks to tightened lending standards.Foreclosures are low now, vs high in 2007. 

We had to track down our payment from our largest PM this month and this was not something we anticipated from a cash flow standpoint.

it's just easier than the more advanced strategies...House hacking still takes significant due diligence, skill in analyzing the market and the property, time and effort to learn about tenant screening and property management, the ability to anticipate appreciation/depreciation trends, etc., etc., etc....and even with lots of skill and preparation, things will still go wrong (vacancy, plumbing leaks, bad tenants, etc.)

But not such strong appreciation in some of the Midwest markets, so that's a good point about requiring more than 1%, especially if you don't anticipate much appreciation.

Some markets took eight years or longer to recover to their pre-crash peak.I anticipate the markets with the greatest increases will see the significant drops, while the majority of the country sees smaller drops or stagnation. 

It was when I went inside that I knew there was going to be more work involved than I anticipated.
