My house is a reno for me, and I have run into a couple issues that put the brakes on things while I figured out a path forward (mastic covering 90% of the floors for example) anyway, its a fun way to make money but it is NOT as easy as tv shows show or gurus say.....  

Some buyers are pumping the brakes and sellers don't want people walking through their homes. 

I can brake it down into 5.1/ Identify the correct structure needed.

Maybe they want to deleverage a little or pump the brakes on a series of acquisitions, but to press the eject button when hysteria is more widespread than measurable data could be even more costly than buckling in for the ride.

I think a lot of renters are putting the brakes on moving now, unless they have to. any others have input on tenant interest in the last 2-3 days vs a week or two ago?

Recent events might put the brakes on this practice as investors realize that they have real money at stake and experience matters.  

I'm reading this as house buyers pumping the brakes a bit, waiting to see how things settle.

Are you pumping the brakes on any current deals or continuing onward?

Tires and brake fluid and washer fluid  thats it.. get it put it in gear mash the throttle feel the Gs and off you go..

In general, and this isn't specific to the East Side, you'll do better if you approach owners directly and "make your own deal" rather than just looking at what's listed on the market.But as one of the most sought-after markets, the East Side has a lot of people pursuing off-market deals as well.
