When we were on a call with Lendbase and the lender, the lender was telling us we needed $2.5 million in liquidity post-closing but after speaking with other brokers we found out we only needed $300k.

By no means cheap but solid rent + demand, fun place to live, decent inventory (relatively speaking), and is still commutable to the city. 

In fact, a couple of them became cash flow negative a little.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Multi-story CBD office buildings in downtown urban areas are the product that is struggling.When you say temporary, infrequent use, are you speaking about leasing smaller Executive Offices or running a business similar to WeWork?

Hi KyleThe way most real estate for sale is priced these days there’s little to no cash flow after debt service with 25% down - borrowing a down payment would put the investor in a negative monthly position. 

I know people who do this and I do not believe there are issues with it, but speak to an attorney and they should probably notify the company if they are an employee of that company that they are doing this.

My bridge rate is 10% and results in a $1,500/month PITI payment.The negative cash flow stings but is worth it for the equity.
