Don't rush through the process; take the time to gather the information you need to make a successful investment.In summary, exploring HUD loans can provide you with competitive rates and favorable terms for your real estate investments.

@Jill DavisTypically banks (depository institutions) are most competitive with jumbo since these programs are typically portfolio products.

Now, what if I make pets welcome..With one click - I just eliminated half the competition.

This keeps the competition away and the returns higher.

Less competition?

Such leases may contain provisions such as options to purchase, covenants not to lease space to tenants that would cause competition to a particular tenant, longer terms, expansion provisions (giving tenants rights to expand into additional space in the future), and sublease arrangements with subtenants.

Over the years it has gotten more competitive but I have expanded to other Ohio markets and have gotten into strategies that produce more revenue, like Airbnb

This isn't a competition for me.  

This included providing strategic advice on making a competitive offer, which was crucial in securing the property at a favorable price of $294,500.

They gave me very competitive rates for my STR in Kentucky, not sure if they do CA.
