It took a lot of frogs in 6 months to make our first purchase and now we are 10 days from closing on our second MF duplex.I know it is so different for everyone, but can tell you that once you have that first deal done.....You are only bound by what you perceive to be a limitation.Go get that deal!

IMO the loan should be made on a percentage of the purchase price, not the perceived value.

That is a great point and how I've kind of always perceived it.

This may be what they perceive in you, or it's also entirely possible you are a great client but you are making them think you're not serious and they are labeling you like the other time wasters you've come across.Now with all that being said, if I was you, I would ask myself if I am really in a situation right now to be able to close a deal, and if so, I would go communicate that very clearly to the different people you're working with.  

Its either my.reality or perceived reality that I can't allow myself to invest money only to not gain anything and be.stuck with a payment for empty hands. 

. :)Why not just stay with the initial purchase and take care of her risk adverse nature, providing her guarantees, she probably wants a sweater deal to accept her perceived risk.

The commercial side was also difficult to pull value out of because of the perceived volatility of AirBnB and San Diego's current political climate vs.

:DIt's probably hard to get a loan on perceived MLM income...this story is fishy IMO.

What most investors will want from you is something that they perceive has value.

In other places, you could just go into a worst neighborhood and find something but here that's not much of a possibility.Now, here is what I perceive to by my options:1.
