Different strokes for different folks-We all have to do what makes us feel comfortable in all things we do especially REI..

In 2008 I bought the whole Charlton Sheets course as I was convalescing from major surgeries.I got the course, started the reading, and my wife had a stroke!

Different strokes or different folks. 

@Jason Woods, stroking a check for $50K ish up front digs a pretty good hole to crawl out of. 

Typically, for #2, we won't take on smaller amounts unless I know we can stroke a check to cover it and we'll only pay out a max of 10%-14% (remember, we can draw down lines and pay less if we were to go higher), but you have to really, really be careful of who is managing the pool of assets.

Intimidation and threats will be your best option working with him while stroking her at this point in time since they have very little to lose if they both walk and leave you with a vacancy.

Just broad strokes here without even getting into other posters comments, from the lending perspective, a HML has no tenants tied to it because its expected to be vacant for the time of construction.

I stubbornly ignored the naysayers and just tried to learn.After about a year I had a stroke of luck and snagged a nice 10 property (500 unit) Project-Based Section 8 (HAP) portfolio listing from one of the brokers with the firm. 

I had a brain anuerism and a stroke over 5 years ago and I am still recovering.  

There are also buyer using cash going through the back door stroke a quick deal.
