If you are forcing your contractor into letting you buy materials and then refusing any money upfront I guarantee you are getting the special P.I.T.A. pricing. 

The shills come out in force.

I started out with value add, where we force appreciated properties by adding square footage and beds/baths.

Income tax refund (forced savings account where govt keeps your interest) gives them the cash they need for first month's rent + security deposit.10) Realities of S8: most tenants no longer have 100% of rent paid by the program.- Good luck getting them to pay their portion for the duration of their lease- Be careful including utilities in the rent as they then won't care about a running toilet resulting in a $500 water bill.- S8 tenants don['t want to pay application fees- S8 tenants cry broke about paying security deposits- S8 tenants in the program for 10+ years claim ignoreance on filling out their paperwork because they've learned a desperate landlord will do it for them.If you want a S8 tenant, you MUST advertise on www.AffordableHousing.com

I don't know the DLP side of the story but it appears as they are trying to force a sale that would wipe out the LP equity and investments. 

Go quietly or be forced out and have an eviction on your record.

CT is one of the oldest markets but lots of forced value in good off market deals.

That's why there's been little activity. if you don't have to sell, you hold on.This extend and pretend will end sooner or later, and when it does, investors will be forced to sell.

It wouldn’t be surprising if they were forced to close their doors entirely.I’ve also heard horror stories about lenders backing out of deals at the last minute, leaving clients with significant financial losses and lost opportunities.

If you have the capital, then it would be best to try to force some equity or buy at a discount and refiance.
