I am in a major pinch to find money right now for my property that closes tomorrow (my buyer bailed on me last minute).. so if my Canadian friend transfers money from Canada to the the US, his bank might charge a fee as well as my attorneys bank?

I have another plan to harvest much better data from these same counties and that is what I am working on now.In a pinch I can use AgentPro247 to come up with a list but even though I filtered for "Tax Distressed" properties, it does not seem to deliver.

I have only closed one investmennt property for myself so my answer should be taken with a "pinch of salt" for what  it's worth.  

in reality there is no given set of numbersyou have to take in consideration the market which nobody can predictwhen your looking at the refi rate and if you can pull a little money out the trick is to keep that money in a cubby hole for the rainy days- they will come it just is a matter of whenrun them at a 65% rate or lower just to make sure all the bases are covered, this way you know if you get in a pinch you always have the option to sell and try to cover all the loss if that happenscrunch the numbers from the bank point of view- you being the bank and not wanting to short yourselfenjoy

Please remember, with the influx of newer families, the same "good" schools will start to feel the pinch with overcrowding.

I know there are people who are objectively very wealthy, and still for them penny-pinching is a way of life. 

I can definitely see rising interest rates placing a pinch on growth.The thing I can't help but wonder about is whether bond prices will re-inflate to push interest rates back down once an economic hiccup comes along.I'm pretty sure that the Fed has been raising rates to store some ammo in their can so that they can push rates back down if they need to combat a recession.

Don't be a penny pinching idiot...just pay for the services you need. 

Cash is king and not having liquidity can cause you and your lenders a problem if you get in a pinch with vacancies, unexpected expensive repairs, etc.

With how multifamily is flying off the shelves these days and how much people are over paying I'd like to think that some individuals will get in a pinch and need to sell quick.
