Talking of multifamily specifically, how is it that we are getting better cap rates if the prices have not really reset lower.

We are just happy to sign the renewal each year.

Our financing strategy is currently 20% down and turn key but we are exploring other options as well.

First you need to learn to separate the following:Maintenance: usually things related to wear & tear or tenant damage.Repairs: usually broken items like doors & windows, caused by tenant or nature.Capital Improvements: usually expensive things that wear out: hot water tanks, furnaces, roofs, etc.The seller is correct that Repairs & Capital Improvement items should not be a factor for awhile (ALWAYS get your own inspection to confirm).

We are nerds :-)

Hi BiggerPockets community,We are a married couple based in the California Bay Area, both working as software engineers with a combined income of close to a Million USD.

We are unable to meet our financial goals.I don't usually speak ill of anybody but we decided we needed to make an exception.So be forewarned, fellow investors - there are disgusting people out there, running predatory companies with zero ethics - that will prey on investors and mistreat them in the name of "PRIVATE" lenders, right here in the United States!!

I understand some of the issues and I believe those can be adjusted to be sure we are not penalizing some of the small investors.

Now that we are 5 months into it, we can see how wrong the reporting actually was, because there haven't really been any noticeable changes except minor procedural ones.  

We are curious to hear how you structure this type of deal.
