It may take a long time to fully solve but with the visibly and funding, there should be some improvement to the problem in the near term.So those are my 3 local picks for outperforming the local market.

@Yousuf Kaleem Change the batteries in the smoke detectors.

Don't forget to take into account additional closing costs for the next transaction as well, as I'm assuming the purpose of the no prepayment penalty is to refinance if rates improve.

I do not want to discourage the passive investing sub forum (syndications), but I think improving search functionality would be more helpful to more of the users. 

The industry as a whole benefits when sponsors do a better job and I'm always seeking improvement. 

Other times, capital is used for capex improvements with the idea that they would refinance afterwards.

Focus on RE saving/investment which will improve your overall financial position.

I used to work with great Realtors who would show up on appraisal day and greet the Appraiser with a folder full of comps that were very flattering, plus paperwork describing in glowing detail all of the improvements to the house and their value.I would insist on a new appraisal, and either have your Realtor do the above, or do it yourself.

Some of my properties have appreciated and some months i do have to be negative in cashflow but i am holding on, improving my systems in place because i am doing it for the long term. 

C) property needs to have signs of city improvements and be close to a popular area or near the downtown area in that city or town.
