@Toby Fellowsno way - 100% no - hard pass.high risk low reward. 

It's best chance at survival/turnaround is with an experienced, local class-c operator.

I will say that some lenders will tell you what you want to hear and then it might not turn out quite the way they mention.

If they were following the data in the way you're suggesting, then they would have started increasing rates far sooner than March 2022.

This way, you can be updated on relevant topics and connect with experts in the strategies you are interested in.All the best as you look to expand your portfolio!

This is wildly untrue in Allegheny County, PA, where the absolute best-built single-families went up just before the Great Depression and the shoddiest tract builds in the county went up from 1970-1990.

I'm new to the real estate investment world, and I have a desire to learn more about the best practices in the market.

i have the current rent rolls & yearly expense report so far. however, i would assume they will require much more. as i have never approached a hard money lender, i would appreciate any advice given. im in texas by the way. thank you

I'd be happy to serve as a resource and answer any questions regarding the market, vendors, best neighborhoods, etc.

NOW, if there was a recent storm that cause a sudden leak resulting interior damage you may not have much of a leg to stand on because HOA was not neglegent in doing timely repairs, it just happened.Now if you think they should repair but they won't you will have to sue your HOA (yourself also since you are an owner) Once they board and HOA recieve the letter from your attorney, they will likely just settle and fix your wall inside since it will be way more costly to defend and it may raise they HOA insurance next year, thus passing the cost to you via your HOA dues.
