i would recommend you take a brief pause and get things under control. work on a plan to refinance those units into more stable financing.

This may be a time to push the pause button on my Nashville expansion until these things sort themselves out :(  Any opinion on my first observation/question? 

A gapped multi-percentage point drop on big volume from an inflection point... that has makings for some investors to pause and look around.

Hello,I have the following question about the tradeoff between rent/purchase ratio and property class:I typically invest in C/C+ class residential MFs (duplexes) which typically have a rent/purchase ratio of 1.4% to 1.7%, but I have this opportunity for a seller-financing deal for a B/B+ class property, but the property has a rent/purchase ratio of just 1% and that gives me pause.

Working on the lending side of commercial real estate, the multifamily product type has banks on pause around town due mostly to the high rents and oversupply.

@John ShoupYou just said something in your last message that makes me take pause.

Collecting the judgement is the hardest part and certainly might give you pause before you follow through with $150 small claim fee and time/ energy spent in court. expect a couple of visits to court to obtain judgement, even if defendant doesn't show.

Not to steal Bill's thunder Julian but to address your question we have to pause on the idea that you implied of "perfectly good".  

If she smiles and says, no, then go ahead.If it gives her pause, then you have your answer.

Kenvest,Thank you so very much for your tangible legal fact, I’d just called my realtor’s staff manager in regards with "time is of the essence", without a pause, he then tells me it’s already on the contract, he was stuttering and said he’ll reread the contract after I asked him why did he agreed with me then when I though I would have to lose the 3% of the selling price for breaching the contract if I’d decided not to agreed with their last postponing and wanted out, in addition to my comment to him that there ought to have some kind of protection for my situation.Just myself to blame for not reading the contract thoroughly (rookie’s lesson # 1); took it for granted; relied on the realtor’s verbal review of the contract with me which appointments always set to be her last one of the day (whenever comes to signing anything) and under a time pressed that she’d to leave soon to pick up a member of her family… I would have dropped this deal if she’d elaborated that term especially when the seller is not responding to my asking of some kind of compensation (naturally, since I’d agreed to their last postponing without using that as a leverage at the same time), let along she didn’t let me know about the property is in a flood zone until the last minute when I’d to signed off my contingencies (supposedly a week prior that they’d even admitted but with an excuse) and reluctantly went through with this deal since I’d spent so much time and effort on this property already, on top of the $1K spent on “two“ inspections along with the upfront appraisal… 101 other reasons for me to make a snap decision now to drop this deal in a heartbeat without worrying the losing of 3%!
