They recognize the buyer can destroy the seller credit, but they are in such dire straights that the risk is justified 2) the seller knows the buyer and has so much trust in the buyer that they have every confidence that the buyer will perform on the loan.From a buyer, it provides a means to get an interest rate from NLT q1 2022 that is a fraction of today’s rate.  

From what I’ve heard, properties that emphasize tranquility.. like offering outdoor seating areas, fire pits, or even something as simple as a hammock.. tend to perform exceptionally well in remote settings.You’re spot on about STR policies in Johnson City versus Knoxville.

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: No need to be paying an upfront fee to a lender.As a lender it is our job to perform or we do not get paid. 

While I've made several investments independently, what sets SDIRA Wealth apart for me is their competitive pricing, focus on new construction, and access to markets with better performance compared to my local area in New York.

Those stilled cashflowed mostly due to insanely low interest rates.3) Investors started chasing Class C rentals in 2022 when Class B rental prices AND higher mortgage rates didn't allow cashflow at purchase.4) Investors are now chasing Section 8 tenants as the cure-all for Class C tenant performance issues, so their Class C properties ACTUALLY cashflow.

Whichever direction you go, be sure to work with folks who understand this and gives you the confidence to take reasonable action - I'd personally take an okay investment and weather the storm for a few years that will eventually perform well, and do that each year - rather than take 3 years to wait for the best deal possible.

One that is pretty dang reliable for performance.

Point is, there is a new bar being set and if your not operating up to it, we are going to make your listing look like crap and perform like crap because were putting this out to the potential tenants and who'd you pursue and choose?

HUD performed extensive due diligence on us, and had to approve us as buyer's and our management company and mangers.
