Hello,I am a real estate investor located to Southeast MA, I own and manage a small portfolio of 23 units and am looking to expand and scale out of state as the returns and market have been quite difficult in my area: due to CAP Rates, specific building class I am looking to invest in, and rising interest rates/minimal inventory, as well as it would be nicer to be diversified and in a more landlord friendly state.  

seller finance opportunities are very, very difficult to find.hope this helps - happy to dialogue further

- very low remaining mortgage balance!!

It feels very difficult to raise enough capital to get into the market.

It’s a balancing act of controlling costs while also controlling risk of personal injury to your tenants and property visitors as well as maintaining goodwill with all involved at the properties. 

Balance that versus lending the money out at 10 percent.

At the heart of effective property management lies the ability to balance the competing interests of three critical stakeholders: owners, tenants, and vendors.

It's difficult to see how a tenant will be after screened and signing a lease.

I think having a balanced budget would be ideal where you allocate money into buying another property and money set aside for renovations.

When do you think it was more difficult to find a "deal" on real estate, in 2011 or 2019?
