Fix the problem, replace any damaged insulation, spray with shellac and move on.

The ability to levergae your note protfolio will allow you to buy more without liquidating them.

I really need some advice here.I've got a 9-unit building with a small roach problem.Now one of my clean tenants says he wants to move because the roaches are so bad - mostly caused by the gross tenants that live above and below him.I've already sprayed recently, and I'm sending the pest guy out again soon.What else can I do?

If they think you are being reasonable with the price and honestly trying I think you will get their cooperation.As an additional strategy of liquidation, have you thought about teaming up with a local builder to help market the lot and his spec home?

However, out-of-country seller (no debt) paid $300/month to a property manager, $100/month taxes, $205/year insurance, $350/month water, $120 month for electric/heat (laundry shed), $35/month trash (dumpster shared with 2 other MFHs), $105/month mowing, $20/month pest spraying, $50/month for cleaning of laundry room, in addition to any maintenance required.

If down the road he needs to qualify for assistance, like to pay a nursing home, leaving that home as his residence will become an unqualified asset to disposition or liquidation to receive benefits, Said another way, it will be exempted as his home where other assets will be required to be used before obtaining assistance.Messing with the title at this time could be a big mistake.

I have enough money to close and obtain the property however I lack the liquidity to fund the rehab.I would obtain 12k from my friend who I also happen to work with.

NNN and also self storage have much higher barriers to entry than SFR properties.You need to decide if you are open to pooling money with other investors who want to be in that asset class but do not have the total funds to go it alone or do you want to save up more money to buy yourself.You really need about 200k liquid or so to get started with quality NNN.

He has been through about 4 cycles he said and he said each time for commercial multifamily was the leading drive on the rebound.If you look at cycles they all have similarities and some differences.Recognizing these patterns leads to the best portfolio and the best returns versus risk.What Rich said holds true in that you avoid the herd mentality.People that do not invest prudently do good with some properties and then the others bring them down to a negative to flat position for years before you can recover.Some of these syndicated pools of investors look at the big project as a smaller risk.That is fine if the gamble is made based on the funds entered is only a small percentage of their total worth.Example if the have 2 million liquid and want to spend 100k for an interest in a property that could throw off very high returns than they are still safe versus their overall portfolio.I can tell you that buyers think "I am buying so low there is NO WAY I can lose on this!".

If worse comes to worse i can scrape the money together but who would want to do that, i need the cash liquid while still holding the property, Its a great hold.
