None of the dire predictions came true.So who knows?

My point is I think that it is incredibly hard to predict what the housing market will do and how long it will last.

Beyond credentials of the developer and great market research, what do experienced people think are the key variables to look at for whether a deal is likely to perform as predicted? 

Many Note Buyers will consider the Payor’s credit score closely because it can help predict the note’s potential for foreclosure.

Actually there are balloon payments on some and the notes are 15 years and with a guy said would take the balloon and make it another 5-10 year note most likely if we wanted to. the most likely is the key phrase here.. what happened in the GFC and I am no way predicting this happening to that magnitude again but it did happen and history can repeat it self.. many many landlords and apartment owners were in 5 year roll overs and their loans got called.it happened to me.. all my LOCs save one about 12 million dollars worth got called between 08 and 09.. we spent the preceding years paying them off.. credit froze.. 

Is there a simple way to calculate depreciation so that I can predict it when I run the numbers on a property?

If so, and she pays (but predictably late, and then with the late fee), can you plan around this so that it doesn’t cost you time and money?

@Jay Hinrichs Thanks for taking the time to respond...how do you feel about the prediction that lenders will soon require a significantly longer seasoning period before re-fi...like 3-years...no more BRRRR as it exists now...

Back then, the Fed’s rate hikes caused investors to become less concerned about inflation, so mortgage rates fell.Mortgage rates eventually rose, and were higher in June 2006, at the end of the rate-hiking campaign, than they were at the beginning, two years earlier.In 2017, housing economists predicted mortgage rates would rise.
