Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan: also since most of the advice in BP is coming from sell side, the return we got is the normal return hence why I am no longer interested.I am interested to gain abnormal return.my exerience- making 80k-100k per flip from 500k home is possible, only in CA- Out of state could be a good appreciation vehicle too- the wealth builder is created when we invest in expensive state only (CA/HI) with at least two properties- invest locally is thousand time better than investing outside because of the potential it creates- househacking and ADU is finance freedom LOLBut i develop a strong very atypical thesis also:- there' nothing passive about real estate investment- investing in syndication is more active than direct ownership- the risk of the unknown of unknown is the biggest issue in any real estate- at the end of the day, the probability of we as landlord is hitting problem with tenant/city is like 100% so be prepared- the difference between different type of real estate investment is the unknown factor and that's always the least discussed- strategy is always different depending on macro climate, if mney is cheap leveraging equity is the best, if money is expensive then buying debt is good option- don't chase best return but chase the most understood risk and capital preservation as a goal- not all RE investment has equal return/risk , syndication in multifamily for example is outsourcing all risk to investor while gp makes the most money lol- direct investment is always always better than indirect investment, except in certain asset class and extremely good sponsor that could find a noticeable return/risk reward.- donot follow the crowd, when everybody else is buying then it's good time to sell, vice versa LOL- if the math doesn't pencil, GTFO lol I do not agree with everything in this post but agree with a lot of it so I thought I would add my view.

I might do a deal where I purchased the property and provided the “buyer” worth an option to buy for the period of the loan with monthly rent” payments equal to the interest payments on the would be note.  

The benefit of working with a quality rep is that not all sponsors are created equal.

Also found out that the number of mortgage demand is actually equal between 2023 to 2024.

But all else being equal, it increases earlier year distributions, but reduces the sale distribution, since there is now a larger loan to pay off upon sale.  

I would try to take the amount from the deposit equal to damages from the smoking by that tenant, minus normal wear and tear.

While personal credit may also be evaluated, particularly if a company member holds at least 25% ownership, demonstrating sufficient liquidity is equally crucial.

If he was such a scammer that others are saying about him then my belief is he wouldn't be able to last very long..

Then you could list the units, accept all applications equally, and if the application that meets your criteria happens to have children you could then have it remediated.  

I truly don't understand...It's beyond my belief...For years, we held your hand every step of the way.
