Just based on my personal experiences in the industry for many years sometimes we ALL have to do work outs..

If you are "cured" of your analysis paralysis and have the capacity to stomach the project and the "issues" that come with it, I vote BRRRR.  

Leather is very durable and easy to clean but more expensive.Depends on the property and your budget.Sleeper sofas give you more sleeping capacity.

I know you mention $400,000+ multi-family properties - but the numbers below will work out the same regardless of price point - I just chose simpler numbers to make the calculations easier to follow:Example:  $100,000 house - $1,000/month rent, $100 taxes/month, $100 Insurance/month - 7% on Financing Cash Versus Financed:Cash:$100,000 invested

Hi all,I've met and spoken with a few great prof's in the Columbus area, and since then, have made 2 offers on home (both didn't work out).I'm going out to visit in December to meet with and talk to a few people; including sellers directly.My question is for those of you who have experience and a few properties + in the mid-term / corporate rental realm.How have your vacancy rates changed over the last year to 2 years? 

@P from prior topic, use this to understand the capacity in your market and your best options. 

He can try to work out a modification of the loan in some way, and there are literally dozens of different types of modification that may be appropriate for any given situation and may prove beneficial for both parties.  

I guess letting people steal whatever they wanted whenever they wanted didn't work out too well.

With enough properties, the savings could justify quarterly visits for inspections and lump-sum repairs.Best of luck and I really hope things work out for you. 

Likewise, I’d need to work out how prospects would tour properties safely, legally, and at minimal expense.
