Curious - why did "high" rates cause a big jump in inventory where you are? 

Rising interest rates, slim margins, and unexpected costs can kill a deal fast.

Quote from @Jules Aton: If you are doing high grade laminate that should be good.

Thus, your profit margin is lower (than the all-cash offer), but your ROI is higher.Savvy or more experienced investors may have access to Private Money.

Hence my take on CA; pricing is way too high and margins way too tight for the risk at playing the loooong game because I simply don't have faith in CA's actions, or better said inactions, for the loooong game.

The market is at historic highs and could break at any moment.

If your deal has some healthy margins, you should be okay, I would just be aware and upfront with whomever you pick.Good luck!

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

The neighborhood has been flourishing, making this incident highly unusual.What initially drew me to the property was the potential for high rent and strong cash flow.
