I believe it is a larger issue than what we define as the economy, which is mostly measured in corporate profits and Wall Street performance, this is not what the average person perceives.

For profit and not for profit investors can be brought into the financing structure to work together to meet the needs.

I like multi family because it should generate cash flow as well as appreciation.

If his fixed costs are $4000 per month his profit just doubled from $1000 to $2000 monthly.

That house won't have a profit for 3 or 4 years now. 

If you catch these at the pre-foreclosure stage as slow pays or initially in default all the better as the bank has less in collection expense.You can still work out a discount but even buying at the payoff it can be profitable depending on the property value.You can practically force a lender to sell as it can fully indemnify them as a full payoff as demanded, continuing with a foreclosure becomes a rather vengeful act by the bank to punish a borrower, they don't want to go there.

I also do consulting from time to time to share how leverage and build a profitable holding company or fix/flip entity.

With a passion for finding undervalued properties and transforming them into profitable assets, they are eager to learn, grow, and build a successful real estate portfolio.

Social media has really messed it up for my generation.

Currently own a STR thats been profitable for almost 3 years now and in the midst of a Live-in Flip.
