just know they have completely different business models was my point where the HML are usually getting payoffs constantly and the note guys they need to foreclose to liquidate which is much more involved.. although i suspect they do get payoffs too.  

Since I’ve been syndicating real estate debt and a few equity deals for 25 years, I’ve made it my business to maintain a constant “overview” of the “product” being offered.  

I am constantly seeing the constant push for baselane.

If you can handle that kind of discomfort, I'd recommend moving to an emerging market and house-hacking (that's what I did).

@Brandon Ortiz: each strategy has its own risks and potential rewards.Owning rentals, you have the constant maintenance and tenant risk associated with owning property.  

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

What if one person likes to host parties and is constantly bringing a bunch of friends over to hang out?

I constantly get in arguments with real estate investors over loan leverage and perceived  risk when I say I will sleep better at night  as the guarantor of a  $6M loan backed by a $10M property in a good location that has high occupancy rates and meets a reasonable debt coverage ratio over the $80K loan backed bv a $100K property in a lower tier neighborhood.

The only constant is that it seems to be one or the other.
