This area is pretty hot right now in my opinion given it is transitioning, but all of it is rent-controlled for older buildings.

Are you folks talking about a Ground Lease which gives you long term use and control of the land,etc. but it’s never yours unless you contract to buy it.

For most, my stance is good luck finding it better elsewhere as life is relative.Just focus on what you can control and most of it is then irrelevant. 

As for the rodents, call a company and have them come out and deal with it...take photos before and after so if the tenant does something (ie puts out more rice), you can show that the tenant is deliberately doing things to attract rodents. ya we planning to call the health inspec saying the fridge is their to use but if they make it dirty and smelly we cant control that and its their responsibility.

I have had a couple of lenders tell me that I can't tell them that I am going to live in the property but they can't control what I do after the loan closes *wink*.

Be aware though that fractional deals can be a logistics and control problem if the loan defaults and there is a need to foreclose.Having money idle is an issue with hard money lending.

Dave Ramsey has become famous for helping people with impulse control issues, might not like hearing it but it's the truth and fact.

As mentioned, ensure that client is working with a lender that will refund any remaining 2/1 buydown funds in the event that they refinance before the 2nd year is up, since my crystal ball says that's (beep boop boop) about 87.2% certain to happen (Barry Habib, two three time crystal ball award winner [literally, and among other accolades], agrees btw, though his crystal ball unlike mine does not have the scienterific precision to pin it at 87.2% exactly).

You can't value add stocks and you can't personally impact the value of stocks, you have absolutely no control over their value.
