Taxpayers to the rescue.So Congress passed, and President Bush signed (wow, kinda forgot about Bush until now), the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), which established a new agency (we love creating new federal agencies in this country): the Federal Housing Finance Agency, giving it authority to place regulated entities into conservatorship or receivership.

Raising money is all about marketing and sales (not real estate specific) so either hire marketing agency and read sales books, or hop on some LinkedIn courses on marketing and sales.Not sure the legal structure to use: talk to accountants and attorneys.Need deal flow: talk to brokers and go to a lot of networking events.Lending terms: start calling banks and loan brokers.From there, it is all risk mitigation.

Lower Property Taxes and a booming STR market.

What's peoples thoughts opinions on this real estate market over here?

I think this is a very underutilized strategy in this type of market

What I meant was avoid markets that are only cash flow markets.
