Too many low income apartment buildings near by / vacant buildings. 

That message was on May 23rd, it is now nearly 2 months later (July 19th) and I still have heard nothing.

Hello Mike, It is nearly impossible to answer this question without taking a deep dive on the numbers of each but often times in expensive markets like Seattle the cost of construction is so high that it doesn't make sense to tear it down unless you can build something way bigger/nicer.

Any syndicate that over-leveraged and/or has a near-term maturity will be very challenged to survive. 

They can just be too hard to lease.On the other hand, if the area is doing well economically and its occupancy is currently strong (I certainly want a vacant or near vacant property) I think it's worth considering at least.

I'm considering buying a small single family home near a hospital in the Midwest to turn into a MTR, and trying to decide if it's worth the investment to furnish vs. going straight to LTR.

For STRs, properties near the beach or downtown tend to perform well.Start Small and Smart: If this is your first property, focus on something manageable.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

The rest, put you on near-worthless drip campaigns, don't understand calculating the offer price based upon rents - property taxes - insurance - MNT & Vacancy percentages, etc.DM @James Wise to schedule a chat with him!

When PE investment groups start using terms like 'sweat equity' on near empty parks I get nervous.
