Or, are the failed projects going to kingmade investors that have "special" relationships with the lending banks? 

Very excited for this Spring Summer as I anticipate the market shifting a bit more to buyers market for land.

Not saying there isnt any but when they do appear, they go fast and cash buyers prevail.

Do you feel this is controllable or that it's mostly up to chance who succeeds and who fails? 

Hi all,I have a few long-term rentals and am exploring a STR for the first time, and am seeking guidance / advice on my expected expenses (and ideally what i'm missing that i should factor into my calculations). Part ...

Expect to spend a considerable amount of your time speaking to people.Expect to work dozens of hours/week with little to no immediate result.Expect most of your early interest from potential clients to come from your sphere of influence.Expect to go 3-6 months without getting paid (unless you do rentals which usually pay faster)Expect to be bombarded with distractions - mainly, people/companies marketing to you so that you choose their system for quick and easy buyer or seller leads.

Interestingly, right after accepting that offer, another buyer reached out with an even higher bid.

I invested 5 figures into a failing note syndication (AHP) and theres a thread on BP.

I am seeing some AMAZING deals in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge as well as the Blue ridge are of N Ga that are HUGE equity gains because prices are lower in this buyers market and also cash flowing much better than last year.

Policy will not impact the market for a while, even a $25k first-time home buyer credit will need some time to work through the system.
