Private Lending Bank vs Private Investor
19 August 2016 | 12 replies
Many inexperienced novices listen to all the hype, promises, promotions, etc of gurus, and their mind suspends reality.Hard money lenders and private lenders do not lend money for a down payment; this would place them in second lien position with no equity cushion, with a borrower with no skin in the game and no capital reserve to call on should things go south, resulting in a probable total loss of their investment if they have to foreclose.Any lender, whether hard money or private money ( who lend short term at high interest and high points) or conventional, want a decent shot at getting their principal back if the borrower fails.

Should Syndicator for Multifamily Invest Their Own Money In Deal

I would make my money and then not deal with all the other stuff that goes along with being a syndicator.Passive investors need to understand that all parties (if it is set up right) wants a project to be a success and make money.There are some syndicators who hype investors up and are selling what I would consider questionable investments to take fees.

Being that buyers will immediately love the residence, they will be more inclined to place quick offers, since they will fear losing the property if they decide to wait.More importantly, a fully staged property will delight buyers’ real estate agents, who will spread the hype about a remarkable new listing hitting the market.

Not perfect by any means (lots of bugs that never seem to get fixed), but when get past all the marketing hype of AirBnB, VRBO, and others you realize it's really all just lead-gen, listing availability, and payment processing with basic reputation management which, one could also argue, was never really that great with AirBnB anyway since most hosts are accepting both reviewed and non-reviewed guests regardless.I see there's a few other threads related to the change in platform leads and while much of the chatter in the AirBnB space is around the impact after AirBnB's "Summer Release" where they pivoted to focus on boutique treehouses and Hobbit homes, I'd maintain there's a larger phenomenon going on with the platforms that no one with a vested interest in their continued success (ie: data dashboards, platform managers, etc) wants to really much talk about (ie: how quickly were the "AirBnBust" headlines shot down?).
