I am a luxury watch dealer by trade, but I've been looking to get into real estate investing.

But I do wonder about the legal consequences of it.

I previously posted questions on this channel about lending money on the paperstac platform. Decided getting the licenses to be a lender in different states wasn't worth it. However, my question is, what would/could h...

Larger deals tend to trade in retail at higher cap rates.What you need to decide is how long you want your money tied up into a deal (their exit strategy), and how much you want to place, and if you get cash flow right away, partial, or none until certain metrics are hit.As an example you might get 8% preferred return but upside might be more marginal than a small retail turn around deal where exit is in 2 to 3 years and equity multiple is likely much higher for overall return.

Important to not take one statistic and make conclusions about the entire market.I would have to get to know these areas a lot better to understand the trade offs and dynamics.

The reason why is because there has to always be a trade off when it comes to finding a great neighborhood/turnkey and cash flow.

That would be his issue with his lender.You would have the option of forcing him to complete the deal, he then has to work out the problems between himself and his lender, that is none of your problem or business.Have your attorney or the real estate agent's broker send a strongly worded letter as a warning about the consequences ( a lawsuit he is unlikely to win).

I can't speak for this deal in particular, but you'll always pay more for turnkeys-- trade-off for not having to do any work.The only thing I see in the deal is Norada didn't include estimates for vacancy and repairs, and I would never analyze a deal without including those.

Some loans work the same as for the first and other time buyers.Midwest looks cheaper to start for sure but there's always a trade off.
