I'd rather buy, fix, lease, refi (fat all your money back or more.

The Buyer usually wants to get cash flow during the duration of the amortization or term of the deal or get control of the deal so they can in the future refinance and hold, or sell for profit. 

Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.

The idea here is to learn all I can in this group before moving on to a finance position or perhaps even a development position. 

Thanks Jay,As I mentioned in my reply to Caleb.Influencing an appraisal is a walk in the park.If you buy cash or even with finance it doesn't matter.Find the right people who's ethics are through the roof and that have a proven track record.I'll take it as far and say that even if a turnkey company sells you a property for more than what it's worth.As long as they are willing to go along for the long haul ride, then you are good.There are too many operators that will just flog the product and disappear soon after.Turnkey real estate is about cashflow.If you want fat equity in a deal or a "Deal Of The Century" type property.Don't buy turnkey and do the work yourself.Just my opinionThanks again mate

The fat days are gone, welcome to the new normal. 

As with anything, I'd definitely encourage you to do your due diligence and get as comfortable as you can in the process.If you'd like to chat in more detail, feel free to DM me.  

Next time you’ll trim off the fat and be in great shape.

I'm doing what I can in this journey with the ups and downs.

But I operate most of what I own across the river in Minneapolis and I actually can raise rents more in St Paul then I can in Minneapolis.
