Now, I review the current offering.

I ask because a lot of new investors are getting lured into the thought of them because you get paid by the government this alleged "guaranteed rent", but that's not really how it all works.The Section 8 website for your area or the larger one should have metrics per square foot for the area.

Quote from @Ryan Moyer:Doubly worrisome is that there are almost no hands on reviews of Hostaway, and any time the name comes up on BP or Facebook groups there are suddenly a dozen new "users" whose first and only post ever is to talk about how great Hostaway is, without providing any details. 

For DSCR, it's usually slightly higher than the conventional route due to it only looks how well the subject property rental performs + credit vs conventional where it requires credit, income, assets to be reviewed.

If someone has to be so aggressive in managing their negative reviews/reputation online, and suppressing other people's speech...very bad sign.Finally, some of my current clients are "refugees" from Karim' program.

Understand Prepayment Penalties: Review the terms of your existing loan for details on the prepayment penalty.

That being said, I'm part of an experienced Syndication Group who invests not only in Multifamily, but also different asset classes:  Self Storage, Mobile Home Park, RV Park, and Retail - all to diversify the investment offerings.Reach out, and the next time we have an LP capital raise, I will send you the OM (and obviously info on our company) to review.

Quote from @David Waite: As someone who actually invested in these notes - perhaps too much as they comprise almost 15% of my investable assets - I am also worried about where this is going, and kicking myself for making a decision based largely on reputation with only a cursory review of what I was signing up to.

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.
