Contrary to most business lending, the REI industry has a lot of "non-bank" lenders that provide attractive loans that can lower your cost of capital and improve your profit/cash flow. 

Just wondering if anyone has an recommendations on reliable resources thanks in advance 29 rentals if they are at full occupancy, depending where they are located, should be great cash flow.

Depending on the actual age of the property, at least some level of deferred maintenance is not uncommon.

Depending on your exact situation, you could likely get something closer to 7% and make these numbers work a little better.  

This will cost you $3-$4K, depending on your state, and will allow you access to the MLS.

I’m going to disagree with @Chris Seveney and say whether an assignee could force a sale directly would be a state law issue and heavily dependent upon the contract terms. 

Here’s how to find a broker you can trust:Ask for Referrals: Reach out to fellow investors or real estate agents for recommendations.Check Credentials: Look for brokers who are licensed and members of professional organizations, such as the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB).Review Their Track Record: Ask about their experience with real estate investment loans and request client testimonials.Interview Multiple Brokers: Prepare questions about their lender network, fees, and typical loan turnaround times.Evaluate Their Communication: Choose someone who listens to your needs and provides clear, honest advice.4.

How to Track Regulatory ChangesStaying up-to-date might seem daunting, but the right strategies and resources make it manageable.Key Resources:Local Government Websites: These often publish updates to zoning, rental, and housing codes.Real Estate Associations: Organizations like the National Association of Realtors (NAR) or local landlord associations offer regular updates and seminars.Newsletters and Blogs: Subscribe to reputable legal or real estate blogs for insights into upcoming changes.Professional Advisors: Build relationships with real estate attorneys and property management professionals who can provide guidance tailored to your market.Pro Tip: Set up Google Alerts for terms like “rental law changes” or “landlord regulations” in your area to receive real-time updates.3.

Generally larger commercial properties and shopping centers are easier to classify with hard and fast rules, but to the points above the residential areas really move very quickly and have way more nuance than most people care to admit.zip codes are generally way too large for my liking at least in my market to provide any kind of insights other than macro level economics but even then highways or rivers that cut through a zip code can end up with totally different trade areas.we can get pretty granular with cellphone data and with grocery center data to understand the trade areas and their true boundaries, but that kind of data pull is generally only cost effective for investors doing larger scale projects or developments, and honestly we still just end up getting on the ground and feeling it out, so I generally tell people that the money is better spent on a plane ticket and weekend trip in the area you are looking rather than any kind of "trade area" level data studies.and generally B class in 1 area means something different than another.
