Right now (Q3 2024) everything seems overbanked/overbought.Currently, my focus has been purposely broad but currently split between: A) SF business (wholesaling/rehab) I was asked to take over (on almost no notice – am still badly catching up) and B) Small balance MF and mobile/manufactured housing (<~50-100 units for physical/operational value add)I have made some progress on each but not where I would like to be although I have just recently gotten involved in the sub-institutional space again.

@Jeremi Ramos do an addendum to your PMA that has all the Portfolios and Buildings on it.Be sure to include language though, that allows you to auto-transfer funds between the Portfolios/LLCs to cover your management expenses.Otherwise an owner could screw you on fees by letting portfolios go negative on their balances.

Bank and credit union loans are generally defined as “portfolio lenders,” or lenders that hold the loans on their balance sheets.

However, one deal taught us a harsh lesson about balancing kindness with caution—a deal that nearly ended our business before it truly began.It was the end of our first year, around Thanksgiving, when we received a lead in Massachusetts.
