While not ideal, when weighing the additional costs and time of foreclosure, against the likelihood of recovery from the PG, we determined it was more likely we’d save expenses than we’d be able to collect on the PG.

@Helen Rolls , yes, I remember that article about CapEx expenses and it made a big impression on me - I suppose what's "easy" about this purchase/CapEx is that everything needs to be replaced fairly soon (half of the heating system, roof, foundation work, and windows!). 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Future Rights: It is common for leases to either:Cover existing tenants and equipment: This means the lease covers only the equipment and tenants on the tower at the time of the sale.Include provisions for future tenants: Some agreements might allow for new tenants and equipment to be added, potentially impacting the compensation.Lump Sum Payments: When a lease is sold for a lump sum, it often includes a transfer of the right to collect future rents from existing tenants.

We had a few where we had to wait until rent assistance kicked in (and don't get me started people driving a Porsche and collecting rent assistance), but in the end we were whole.

Hi all,I wanted to pick the community's collective brain on investing in an IRA and get people's experiences on it.1.

If you only knew… How long it took me to achieve this (10 years+) and how much work it was… Quite frankly, you wouldn’t be impressed.

That's impressive to find your first deal off market AND to have a creative finance play.

Few and far between.You can always find someone willing to collect rent for a fee.

I would never do that / why not broker the loan and collect a fee upfront.This is also super sketchy as no legitimate hard money lender would lend to someone who is going to lend the $ and not own the property
