If you would accept an equity partner you could at least make progress, which is better than a standstill.  

With the current market being so unfavorable for sellers I’m at a standstill whether I should just cut my losses or whether I should buckle up, hold and ideally refinance in 2-3 years where then it may cashflow a little more or I can leverage the equity.

@William Ryan Hi William it's really been at a standstill.

With the economy at a standstill there is a massive spike in missed payments, missed rent and unemployment.

Unless they can sucker other people into investing they are at a stand still.

At this point my ambition and career is on stand still while i wait for this to be resolved     Thank you 

I'm sort of at a standstill.  

Finding a fully performing property especially at the 50% suggestion with multifamily is a non starter.A trophy property the owners will demand a premium.The typical buyer is a doctor,lawyer,etc. who wants a newer property in turn key condition to us as a tax shelter.They don't really need the income all that much.What I see most investors going after including myself is value add deals.Where you have a burnt out landlord or a property with deferred maintenance or both.Some people have more money than sense and do not make good managers.The value add deal is where you can create equity and cash flow the quickest.Many investors love apartment foreclosures from banks.There is no emotion like from a regular seller but also there isn't usually as many ways to structure a deal.So each avenue has it's pluses and minuses.If you talk to banks they are hoping the market gets better.If you talk to buyers many say we are still in a recession and will not pay the banks prices based on over inflated appraisals.So what you have is a stand still in the bid-ask gap pricing.Some product is moving but not the kind of volume to turn the market around yet.If you want start out with one house and build from there.I agree with everyone on the fees.The contractors will suck you dry.You have to know what work you want to do and not to do.I tell contractors I want investor pricing and that I am very cheap and want a deal.If they are looking for a retail deal don't even waste my time.Between plumbing,electrical,pest control,lawn maintenance,and on and on your cash flow can go out the window real fast.On my apartment building I have a cheap handyman mow the grass and do minor repairs.Grass company wanted a one year contract and 210 a month!

so everything comes to a standstill.

I've been at a standstill on the property for a month, trying to locate financing.
