Hey BP community,
I'm looking to expand my real estate portfolio and I'm particularly interested in REO-owned multifamily properties with 5 or more units. I'd love to hear from experienced investors about:

Hi All,I am a GP/Sponsor that has just formed an LP based in Toronto ON, looking to raise $15M of equity to acquire Industrial and MURBs across Canada and the US with a target AUM of $50MM. 

PLEASE NOTE: For purposes of determining the VA guaranty, lenders are instructed to reference only the One-Unit Limit column in the FHFA Table “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Maximum Loan Limits for Mortgages Acquired in Calendar year 2016 and Originated after 10/1/2011 or before 7/1/2007”.Maximum Guaranty Loan Limits for February 28, 2014 to December 31, 2014 Maximum Guaranty Loan Limits for January 1, 2014 to February 27, 2014 2013 Loan Limits Maximum Guaranty Limits for August 6, 2012 to December 31, 2012 Maximum Guaranty Limits for January 1, 2012 to August 5, 2012 Maximum Guaranty Limits - October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 2011 Loan Limits 2010 Loan Limits 2009 Loan Limits 2008 Loan Limits Guaranty Calculation Examples - Review these common situations to see how a VA-guaranteed loan limit is calculatedRemaining EntitlementVeterans who had a VA loan before may still have "remaining entitlement" to use for another VA loan.

I would then look at how long their current lease runs until, and make sure you're documenting all of their payment receipt dates after you acquire the property. 

Hi, I may be in a position to acquire a duplex where each unit is 1 bed/ 1 bath.The tenant is about to move out of one of the units and I was wondering how viable will it be to either add 1 bedroom to that unit or may be add 2 beds and 1 bath for increased case flow. any gotchas I should be aware of?

I have the balance sheet to acquire financing, and I have access to a lot of capital.. so I partner with great operators on the residential side, where they bring the deal, handle project management, & act as boots-on-the-ground, while I bring the money & can offer mentorship/guidance. 

We've got stable W2's and good credit.I do own OOS rentals that I acquired over the past few years.

There are VERY FEW DEALS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW….There is inventory for sale…butNOT…..Properties that can be acquired that;1) Will have minimum 80% equity vs ARV…after the ALL IN investment ( unless the cash down is way out of balance ) 2) CASH FLOW TODAY enough to cover all costs PLUS RESERVES and return all cash out of pocket in a reasonable time period.3) You could sell TOMORROW if you needed to and not lose any money4) Dont include rosey hopes of appreciation to cover negative equity Al last ALL… of the current wholesale deals are just trashy retail deals.

Secondly, these loan officers are frequently on the move either because the banks are acquired/merge or the staffers believe another bank has underwriting policies that will lead to more originations for them.
