There is existing regulation pertaining to capping prices, meant to be used in a time of disaster. 

The opportunity to buy from the seller might be doing a Subject-To deal where you take over paying the existing loan.

Wanted to get some more feedback on either building or purchasing an existing Multi Unit property.

Let’s assume STRs never existed.  

land has very little value if existing homes are selling for less than New build replacement costs. which is pretty much half of the US.. and especially in the mid west and rust belt areas.. building lots have value in dense urban areas where new infill is going on in a big way..

there is a reason certain investments require accredited investor or existing relationships.  

The cost of land and buildout exceeds buying existing.

Even if your refinance into a DSCR to pay off one of the existing loans, there's a 99.9% probability that you will have to PG the new loan.

But no one that stupid is going to ever get to the point where they are entertaining a 100-unit, so there's no point in trying to market to that person, they don't really exist at that scale (and, to they extent that they do, they aren't falling for real estate scams, they are falling for crypto/nft/blockchain/ai [+ next years buzzword, whatever that is] type scams). 

But when I was an agent, learning some basic Python and VBA (Excel) really helped me save time in the process of collecting and analyzing real estate data.I've been working with technology for the last 25 years; sometimes you don't need sexy, you just need a tool that works.It's a sin that, we technologist, fall for often: searching for sexy instead of "this old thing just works" :) Agreed, though in my experience, a lot of real estate professionals are far from the most technical people, so having clean and intuitive software UI is very key... but then again the MLS exists and that to my knowledge still doesn't have a back button... lol
