The eleventh hour deal just fell through after we jumped through hoops getting them every piece of paper they needed to close this deal by tonight.

I found a pretty stellar deal in Texas hill country, a few months earlier than I was prepared for (doesn't seem like most deals have particularly convenient timing!)   

Let’s be real: Not every deal is going to close. 

They will know market data and trends better, have reliable comps to base their recommendations on, and could even be a great deal flow with current portfolio properties selling.The completely remote, centralized PM function is one of the reasons why you see the homes owned by PE firms sit on the market so long.

A great way to start is by learning how to analyze deals and exploring strategies like buy-and-hold or house hacking.

Our bank will let us use equity that exceeds 25% across multiple properties that are either owned free and clear or where they hold the first so long as the deal still cash flows with however much cash is brought to the table.

A good broker should be able to tell you a range of rates given specific criteria if you can tell them what kind of deals you are exactly looking at (ex. in central Boston, 10-20 unit, 90%+ occupancy, 30% down).

Wishing you the best on that first deal!

(We're from California as well) Everything has been extremely smooth so far and their staff has been excellent with their customer service.
