We will learn how to find and vet “good” and expose “bad” for ALL to see.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Too bad the election is over, because loud stinky letters to the press really work well during election season.Anyway, you have my condolences. 

Meet with a local banker & schedule a time to talk with a mortgage broker, they'll give you at least a baseline of what kind of down payment options and rates are out there.After that, if you're still wanting to research more creative options, do some looking into seller financing (a very hot topic with good, and bad, advice out there), look into private lenders, and commercial financing options.If you're wanting to live in 1/4 of your quadplex, then conventional residential loans may in fact be your best option as you can purchase that with a fannie/freddy loan with very low down, and use up to 75% of the income from the property toward your own income. 

This is why people are getting pissed with cold callers and your seeing very poor response/appointment/sales rates with PS data.This is what Joel Bongco has stated alsoIts absolutely true and I can go further and quantify exactly how bad the data is using my own study comparing PS to county records.I compared PS preforeclosure leads to county records across 167 counties in Texas (67), Florida (50) and California (45) by running searches for both PS ad the County recorders datbase for the period 08/01/2024 - -09/30/2024 and found thatFor TX which i measure preforeclosure leads as all lis pendens, appoinment of substititute trustee (Not a NoD but used for a similar indication) and notice of trustee filings.

It's so bad that my last purchase was in Indiana, which was my first OOS investment, and likely will continue to look there if the market doesn't improve here.  

I do not think they regulate this strictly on other industries like food service, or even medical.Sounds like the mayor or city planner or someone "important" had a bad stay at a STR somewhere.

You may want to first explore cities that you are already familiar with.Think of cities where you grew up, went to school, like to vacation to or see family.You will have a better idea of what the good / bad parts of town than a brand new city that you are unfamiliar with.Best of luck.

That would almost always be from the same lender who has a 1st AND 2nd on the property and they are just fed up with the owner and are taking the opportunity to get out of a bad situation entirely.Sorry, it's complex enough that it isn't a 15 minute class.

Bad management can tank a deal just as fast as anything else.Did you fire the manager and work on finding new management?
