Slowly moving projects when forced to by clients.I should have fired him 2 years ago but I was pot committed and didn't have the balls to start over with a new consultant.What I learned is that moving on quickly from an underperforming consultant is vital.

There are 2 group calls per month with Jerome leading the call; it is scheduled at 2 pm PST (not ideal for most people regardless of time zone), Jerome was always late, there is no agenda or plan for the call, his phone reception was interrupted constantly to the point that his line would drop, and each call has ended abruptly with Jerome saying he had another commitment he had to get to.

Cash flowing at 5% down was possible about 3 years ago—but that ship may have since sailed.Now, you’re left with two options: you can either pony up more cash per deal, or you can potentially look out of state for markets with more favorable rent-to-price ratios.Or…you can wait for rates to decline, but I don’t know how much a 100 or 150 basis point rate cut in the next year will really move the needle.That said, some firms (usually new construction companies, turnkey providers, etc.) will enter into forward commitments with lenders at institutional rates and then pass cost interest rate savings onto end buyers to entice them to purchase a property.

Since you’re committed to staying close to family, I’d suggest focusing on properties that might need a little work but have potential for appreciation in your market.

What would you need to see in/with my letter of intent to be convinced of my commitment?
