With inventory expanding, it feels like there could be opportunities to secure deals, especially if the right cash flow potential is there. 

I've collected thousands in security deposit from my guests who've caused damage.

I had two lines of credit one unsecured for 5 million ( check book) and another for 10 million that we would secure them up with .. but you need time to do that bank required appraisal etc before we could tag the secured line and even at that they only lent 72% in these commercial loan structures..

Maybe if you had a good, secure location to store things you could pre-order stuff you think you might need for your next project(s) and stockpile it.

So I did a 3-2-1 buydown and secured a 2.875% interest loan for the first year of the loan, and it will gradually go up a percent each year until it hits my rate of 5.875%!

Even if you manage to find an office with an existing tenant, their lease could be approaching expiration, and without plans to renew, it can take an incredibly long time to secure a new tenant for the space.

This could help secure a higher LTV while you build STR rental history.

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

You can just as well get married but say you'll be back someday keeping your right to come and go, no one should care, unless you've done a lease change about your space and that you are officially exiting.If None of these supposedly agreed upon things are in a lease, then you may have a problem, and lack the grounds to enforce lease violations.

The owner wants to sell for a 1031 exchange, and the property hasn’t been officially listed yet.
