I am brand new and interested in my first foray into real estate investing.People of all skill levels come!

Even though it’s rent controlled, we don’t feel the level of tenant entitlement is as high as A or B areas.

size + quality then, because that level of due diligence is fairly unacceptable

Now it's just about bringing as little money to close as possible and cutting my monthly payments down, which this loan product does well on a level I haven't seen elsewhere!

Similarly, does foundation problems mean a cracked slab that’s a $80k fix, a leveling problem on a pier and beam foundation that’s a $8k fix, or minor termite damage that can be taken care of for $2k?  

As such, the only "deals" typically require extensive renovation, because anything that is purely surface level retail buyers will likely outbid you.  

There are some reputable lenders that go down to 75k - just know below that 100k loan amount level that rates and cost may seem higher because of servicing and man power inputted into the deal still cost the same for lenders and brokers involved.

They are dealing with more lease turnover caused by deaths of residents, high labor expenses for different levels of care (IL / AL / MC), as well as finding employees that want to do this work.

So, like Chris said, there is no way that Airbnb does NOT impact the market, but it's impact, in my eyes, is grossly overstated, at a high level.

Or pick a point where you keep your day job and stay at a fixed investment level.
