but reminds me of 08 when credit got tight and or stopped and perfectly good syndicators were in a bind when debt came due and of course it was worse then than now but it seems like deja vu all over again..  ???

@Annie Schrock thanks for the comment, definitely having the right contractor, always meeting your deadlines and doing full due diligence can make or break a deal! 

As things with real estate are starting to pick up for me I'm now getting to a position where I could feasibly have more than one project running at a time and am trying to look at options for how best to keep these straight and on top of all the deadlines.

Even though the nightly rate is high, the RE has such high value that the margins are fairly tight.  

So if you make you buy box too tight, you will find very few deals that will fit your buy criteria. 

@Kyle Atans  for me for the younger investors or starter investors is  at least use that 100 or 200 a month positive to paydown debt at an accelerated rate it will save them a ton in the long run and if they can get them paid off in 10 to 15 years that's a good thing.. its not like saving 1200 a year is going to materially affect their ability to buy unit number two and if its that tight not sure owning rentals is that great of investment anyway.

(Keep in mind, as @Dutch Mendenhall stated in his response on this thread 9 days ago, "I want to assure you that your refund has been approved, and steps are being taken to expedite the process.")Tuesday was the third date/deadline for refund issuance that THEY have set that has now come and gone without delivery.

Here are some strategies: Detailed Planning: Break down each project into smaller tasks with clear deadlines.

Especially if you're tight on cash.

Deals are out there, it can be tight.
