I bet short term rentals can work right in your own backyard!

So your best bet is to put yourself in their shoes and shop around just like they would be.Also, some markets are definitely seasonal, and your market rent could change drastically from winter to spring/summer.

Essentially, I am betting that rates won't go low enough where it makes sense to refinance.

Your best bet is to consult with a good broker that has experience with business insurance and RE.

It seems like investors strongly bet on appreciation here which I dislike.

The buyer pool is beyond flakey..Your best bet is a local investor.

Although the property is worth way more than the loan we are needing and the secured collateral lien is really a sure safe bet and some easy money for someone willing to take the chance that isn't in it for anything other than to flip their money for profit/wanting to add to their portfolio, this would be an good opportunity for someone just starting out in real estate investment even.

I'm a bit late but want to reach out to the community to see what might be my best bets to get my money back (file judgement, etc.).

And even if you hire a property manager to take things off your plate, that process isn’t foolproof, as Gregory illustrates.Buying a turnkey property (ideally with a tenant in place), or opting for a syndication or fund, could be a better bet if you’re looking to invest outside California but don’t want to deal with the hassles of “landlording.”

The main drivers1) Local Inventory2) 10 year treasury(macro)3) Personal Debt levels(macro)4) Real Unemployment(not the unemployment number but real white collar job loss ratio'd to part time jobs). 5) Industry proliferation(can't tell me a tech or finance hub moves like a health hub).To tell me #2 will derive from the same inputs as it did in Sep/Oct, I'm willing to bet it won't.
