So like Eric was mentioning if a development has a Mello Roos one would want to pay less for the lot all things being equal.. these bonds have interest rates attached to them and they can be paid off.

I believe we are still 2-3 years out from the market equalizing toward the historic mean of leasing times. 

@Kyle Souza A couple quick and fast tips on qualifying for multifamily loans are having enough experience in the eye's of the lender, a 1.3X DSCR (using lender underwriting..not broker's underwriting), and a net worth equal to or greater than your loan size.

Charge one rent, they are all equally responsible for the rent. 

As long as your out of pocket expense every month is equal to or less than what it would be if you rented somewhere else then you are still technically ahead of the game.

Timber in the right area growth rates will equal about 12 to 14% return at todays prices if prices rise like they evidentially will then you can get rates of returns much higher..

Court house step auction was a waste of time as the REO bank would step in and bid a price equal to the mortgage when they did not receive a bid equal to the unpaid mortgage.The other issue is I often cannot view many of the properties as they have squatters.

Yes don't split it as that is making a determination that they are owed it equally.
