Long story short.. they inflated rent projections, sliced corners on property management, and almost left him holding the bag when the actual numbers came in.Vetting a syndicate means getting cozy with the sponsor’s track record, verifying their underwriting approach, and understanding whether they’ve handled rough waters before.

You could also ask for early occupancy so you can begin to collect rent and take all the holding expenses off their plate.

Sometimes you need to know when you can hold em and when its time to fold em and move on.

I also have two buy-and-hold rental properties and am passionate about exploring unique financing opportunities.Recently, I used a VA loan assumption to purchase an investment property at a 3.3% interest rate, which was instantly cash flow positive. 

Alimentation Couche-Tard, the parent company of Circle K, has made an unsolicited offer to acquire Seven & I Holdings, the owner of 7-Eleven.

You could see if they were interested in holding a second mortgage on the property for their equity, but you need to check this with the first lender beforehand.

It’s about uncovering high-demand niches that hold up even during fluctuations in the broader market.What I’m describing aligns partly with absorption, but I’m looking for a tool that allows me to drill down into the components of that absorption rate—filtering by factors such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, home type, amenities, and more.Do you see merit in this approach?

Not thrilled that it appears to be going up, but glad to know that we aren't the only ones experiencing longer hold times.

I would imagine the hold back is lower.  

If you plan on buying and holding in say a great pm company.
