I agree, shorter-term plays are tough in the current environment, and patience paired with a strong strategy often leads to success, unfortunately this is a strategy that a lot of real estate investors don’t really have the experience and the patience to follow.

Right now i am currently in the Georgia Area

I am a recent graduate of Penn State University, and currently reside in Bethlehem, PA

Your current numbers make no sense (600K property at 70% is 180K down and 420K financed, but four 300K properties at 95% is 60K down and 1.14M financed).The odds of finding someone to loan 95% on four investment properties is extremely slim.

We currently do manage several units to section 8 in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. 

Its generally retail medical operators, so we include things like the market dynamics for our use and why statistically the market and location of the site will be viable form a business case standpoint, and speak to how the startup has enlisted the help of an EMR or other such consultant to help in their general rampup and ability to bill/get insurance contracts.  

@Michelle Reid Both LTR and STR strategies are viable and currently producing good results in the current market, which isn't easy to find everywhere else.

The refi or additional debt of any kind will impact the current performance of your property I'm never a great fan of selling a good producing property - unless I am certain I can improve the overall performance of my portfolio. 

I’ve had about a 60% turnover on units that were under and I’ve brought current.

Oh, and that person is probably authorizing checks from a business account with much deeper pockets than any traveling medical professional.
