Why does City Council encourage that density and emphasize "sustainability"?

When excluding food & energy, this becomes even higher at 60%Powell emphasized that inflation is not going to go away quickly and painlessly and that the process is probably going to be bumpy.

Both contractors further emphasized that they didn't know what the concrete ceiling would look like once the asbestos was removed. 

I could also pull some strings and put more down, thus lowering the loan, but a lot of the BP theory emphasizes cash on cash return.I am calculating 20% down, which has been quoted to me by a couple lenders.

As a buy-and-hold investor, I can't emphasize this enough.Second, your personal finances should have at least 4-6 months of expenses saved up.

Sounds like it needs a lot of work, one ting I want to really emphasize, is that now is the opportunity to set the tone to the type of renter you want in the unit.

Emphasize the value you could bring them by working with you (quick closes, cash, etc...) 

@Amir Marcelin,I second most of what Nate said above, and I'll emphasize house-hacking:- buy a house as soon as you can that works well as an investment property once you move out. 

There are many variations of a "fund" but typically they will allow for greater diversification and emphasize more trusting in the track record and team of the sponsor themself rather than trying to underwrite every nail of a specific property. 

I always end with emphasizing that I respect their perspective - I don't want to push folks to do anything they aren't comfortable with, but I want to make sure they are making informed decisions.Is there a different commission structure you've had success presenting to FSBO sellers?
