Typically when you see "cash only" the agent doesn't believe the property can pass a home inspection which isn't relevant for construction loans in most instances and there are plenty of banks, hard money lenders etc. who offer construction financing on distressed buildings.

Typically you aren't buying a fixer upper with a conventional loan.

Easier to predict expenses - typically no major repairs unless from association3.

You’ll typically find professionals or higher-income renters in these neighborhoods, so it can make a big difference when it comes to peace of mind and property maintenance.

ALSO, I have not had to do an eviction following a partial payment agreement (so I don't know exactly how that would pan out in our courts), all of my tenants have so far completed their payment agreements as signed.Multifamily Northwest has forms for these types of things available via the Rental Forms Center at https://rentalformscenter.com/ Their forms are typically well reviewed by local attorneys; as you'll note, on the Partial Rent Payment Receipt there is verbiage specifically about if the landlord has/has not served a termination notice and reserving the landlords right to eviction if the agreement is not completed. 

I got the terms mixed with open mortgage (no penalty to pay off early, but higher interest rates) and closed (more typical mortgage with lower rates, but the penalties to pay off the mortgage)...that'll teach me not to post too early in the morning :)

Hi Evan,I would recommend annual rent increases that align with cost of living - assuming you are currently at or near market.Residents typically expect a small increase and it's better to do it each year, rather than getting behind and having to do a large increase all at once.

Even when the deed is recorded you will be unable to obtain title insurance for at least a year from the date the deed is recorded.

For example, if a property is clearly a rental, does that typically have a higher chance of success?

There is a "sponsor exemption" but that only allows an unlicensed person to raise money but it cannot be more than 50% of their duties and the pay they receive cannot be based on how much they raised.If you have never raised $, a family office will be off the table as they typically want the company to ahve atleast $50-$100M in assets.
