Using them to pay cash to individual contractors seems to work fine, but it appears you cannot use them for a down payment type transaction anymore.It's a shame, that was a unique way to get some quick short-term cash for deals.Good luck on your deal.

Since your financing is the same whether you’re an entity or an individual when you’re at 5+ unit properties I don’t think there’s any upside to holding in your personal name.

It's like trying to keep 13-year old brothers & sisters from fighting as they try to assert & explore their individuality & freedoms.

FHA are intended for individual borrowers.

Think of Sears, Toys"R"Us, Best Buy, CVS, Dollar Stores (600 Family Dollar Stores are set to close; 370 Family Dollar and 30 Dollar Tree), Walmart closed 11 in 2024 so far, Applebee's, Red Lobster, Stop & Shop, Rite Aid, Lehman Brothers (a 158 yr run), Bear Stearns etc.

Also, equity in general (meaning high net worth individuals/families, hedge funds, institutional) are only going to back  experienced developers when it comes to an asset class as niche as data centers, especially since there are so many things that can go wrong: what if that submarket doesn't have a need for that use by the time you are entitled? 

Hello everyone,I am reaching out to connect with individuals who have experienced significant issues with the Section 8 housing program, specifically regarding their failure to enforce their own lease agreements.As a landlord, I had a tenant under the Section 8 program who turned out to be a severe nuisance.

@Varun Hegde - This is a good topic.Often a title policy is issued to "XYZ Entity or Individual(s) and/or it's assigns" – however unless the title company handling my closing can perform a date down from when the existing title policy is ordered and issue an update in my name, I purchase a new policy at closing and factor the cost into my offer price.
