Thanks mate, I was able to force my achievements in a very hard-working,  unsophisticated and through a lot of sacrifice away…To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend others choose the same path.I think there are a lot of competent, more successful, and much more experienced folks posting on this thread than myself.They have achieved better success in a more elegant and less backbreaking way than I have 🙏👍With that said, my points are always stressed around “You can’t get something for nothing” and the folks that want to use leverage think it’s quicker and easier.That’s the “something for nothing” approach in my opinion

I have about decided to require a “Morals and Ethics” quiz before signing on a homeowner.  

If we just sent a notice with increased rent he might have been upset with us, which usually results in a more expense turn for us after he moves out. 

I think 50-150 units is no mans land and we stick to institutional level sized deals. his underwriting is too simple. the unit mixes are off we only build studios and 1 beds for fast absorption, the deal is also under parked without a parking study. anyone who uses "roughly" in their analysis isn't sophisticated enough. we underwrite rent growth, asset growth, and a million other assumptions this wouldn't pass any people I know who invest in deals. get with a More experienced operator and read more sophisticated underwriting. 400k per door new construction is crazy. how much is the land? 

I am acquiring an assisted living home (RE+business).RE appraised for $1,320,000Business for $80k.I have the RE portion already financed through banks but am needing $80k for the business to get the deal done.I’m looking for $80k short term loan for at least 6 months so that I have enough time to get a more stabilized business loan.
