A few months ago, I ran into a lady who has been going to seminars and REIA for more than ten years.

(Their offerings are now on a portal called “Swell”)One of the current offerings is a loan to a developer in Denver, offering 11% and maturing in Aug 2025.

This included some landmark deals including Rockefeller Center’s $3.5B loan and Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau $1.2B refinancingAlternative lenders filling traditional banking gaps with short-term solutions which has already begun a cycle of consolidation that will likely continue and accelerate in 2025The Office Sector Divide:CBD property values are down 50.7% from 2021 peaksClass A office properties seem to be in their own vacuum of prosperity with trophy properties commanding premium rents ($100+ PSF nationally, up to $247 in top markets) with strong occupancyHybrid work continues impacting older building valuations which have not faired as well, but this may begin to rebalance as more companies are instituting mandates to return to physical officesChallenges & Opportunities:$1 trillion in loans maturing by 2026Interest rates up from 3.5% (2021) to 6.74% (2024)Experts such as AEW’s Michael Acton and Blackstone’s Nadeem Meghji see the best entry point in the last 15–20 years and we agreeMarket Outlook:Current market conditions present unique opportunities, with inflation-adjusted prices at historic lows and yields at decade highs.

The US has $9 trillion in debt maturing next year that they will have to sell new bonds for that debt.

But you have the option to just pay the monthly payment up to maturity in case something goes wrong or if you decide you can use that money better to just build another property instead of paying it off. 

Understanding the interest rate, loan maturity date, and any prepayment penalties will help gauge urgency.3.

We have done it both ways where we fund purchase and they cover rehab but if the individual is less experienced we do not do it that way, we have them put more money into the deal from the start and fund the draws, reason why is we also had a deal where the person said they would do this and never did anything and property sat and loan matured and it was a pain.Just recognize you will still not get 100% financing for the purchase, so you are putting money in up front. 

Some neighbors also told me that there seems to be more people living in the house (on the lease its supposed to be the lady and her two kids 4 YO and 8 or 9 YO).

I know an investor that might partner with you on the lot next door and/or may buy your lot without the title policy.I have already got the deed for that lot and another lot that i bought.. the second one is not waterview but it is .694 and soon to be listed on the MLS for 18k.. im still waiting for the lady to come and see hers and say shes ready to sale.. her family was affected by the hurricane and hopefully she will be able to head this way soon.. ive started to try to wholesale here in jasper and have several deals lined up but cant find any investors in my area looking to buy.. i just now saw this or would of replied along time ago.. i dont know how to do the mentions with the @.. every time i try it dont work 

My agent was a very nice older lady, but no idea about investing, it all worked out and once the first rent checks started coming in started gaining some confidence.
