The reality is, there's no one-size-fits-all rule or guideline.

The reality is that this is very tough market now with high prices and 7% interest rates. 

Thanks.Being a broker, I may sound biased, but here's the reality: when you call a lender, they are going to sell you that they are the best option, because nobody is going to sell you on using their competitor.But as a broker, there's no reason to be biased.

You had one desired outcome that was outside of the parameters of what we were able to make a reality.

Even tho it may sound good on paper the reality might become a nightmare.

The reality is is that if you can take the cash from the sale and pick up 2 properties that both outperform your current condo, then that route makes the most sense.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

While there are low and no money down real estate investing methods you can explore, the reality is, you need to capital to invest in real estate.

@Martin BrownAlso the reality is if you are trying to forecast numbers, the second you hit enter they are wrong as nothing goes the way you modeled it.The important thing to consider when modeling is to have data as accurate as possible (garbage in garbage out), but most importantly (and this is where investors miss the boat), what is the sensitivity to the numbersFor example if doing a flip with hard money, which causes more pain - $20k more to complete, 25k less in sales price or getting the right number but it takes 3 months longer?
