Quote from @Ken Almira: @Jaycee GreeneYeah, the more I research, the more I realize that $10K won’t be enough.

I realized I have deep experience as a renter... across multiple markets, city councils, market classes, and building types (I'll list below) over 3 decades and 9 properties.

The interesting thing is appraisers don't often realize or give huge credit a new plumbing, new electrical, new HVAC despite these items being very expensive.

When a tenant realizes they will have to pay late fees plus the lawyers bill (which is never cheap) they will straighten up quickly. 4.

Quote from @Don Bessette: First, you need to realize this is a business relationship.

This hidden cost significantly increased my loan’s overall expense, and I only realized it after reviewing the final terms.

When I got my first loan for real estate I realized it would’ve taken me a full year to make this money before I could invest.

(As I navigate my service business, I've realized that there are more lucrative avenues available.

However, as I've been tracking new listings in this area and running the numbers on them, I have realized this strategy has either gotten too much attention in the last few years or the supply just isn't there any more.

After speaking with several commercial realtors, I realized my frustration is shared by many.
