Most lenders sell their loans out.Nobody wants a loan where the asset is underwater every month.The real question is, why is a property worth over $1M only producing $4,000/mo.You should consider raising rents as this seems significantly below market.

But from what I've observed (and I'm sure you've seen too), only a few new investors, who are more analytical in nature, do this.One of the issues that I've seen again and again is new investors putting together a "spreadsheet" based on their limited understanding, that produces inaccurate or misleading numbers.

I thought the regular "free" Stessa account was ok.

I get that.. but if your a top producer this is just cost of doing bizz to the title company orr closing attorney if your a one off agent you may have to pony up the money but to me it was necessary..

The above also doesn't cover the dozen times I asked via email and phone for more regular communication.

I appreciate the suggestion to check out Tim Delaney’s posts - I'll definitely do that.FYI - I’m also a regular listener and fan of your BiggerPockets Money podcast, so it’s great to connect with the community here.

Both of our employers now offer roth 401k contributions instead (with matching going into regular 401ks), and I may take advantage of that too, but another small hit to cash flow.At some point, do you just suck it up and take a 10% penalty?

@Nadia Jones Starting and running a fund is a separate business because it's something that you need to actively market for and regularly work on attracting capital to invest in. 

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: 20% down is terrific on land.It’s a non income producing asset which has increased volatility, typically I see 65 LTV max on land as of late.Thank you Brandon!

@Michelle Reid Both LTR and STR strategies are viable and currently producing good results in the current market, which isn't easy to find everywhere else.
