So, even as the Fed lowers the Federal Funds rate, and as we see the spread between the 10-year treasury yield and the 30 year mortgage rate shrink, upward pressure on the 10-year from longer-term foundational pressures will see mortgage rates tick up or or at least hold steady.While this is neutral/slightly negative news for home buyers, it is very bad news indeed for our friends in the commercial real estate world, who are really seeing the best case scenario for the 10-year right now.

If you don’t, narrow down to MFH.  

@Jeff Hines - go with a direct lender and spread that $150K over multiple properties. 

FYI - When I appled for a City STR permit, the inspector that showed up was interested in only 2 things: Fire extinguishers on each floor with large signs, and working Smoke/CO2 detectors.I expected them to get upset over the old stairs (1940s) which were very narrow (29").

Hi guys, I posted that hosts should focus on one platform to boost ranking instead of spreading out multiple platforms and I think I owe more explanation since all the seasoned hosts do not agree with me.

There're also many narrow scope planning opportunities that are less common than those I listed.

All the markets you mentioned are solid choices for affordability and long-term growth potential.If you’re looking to narrow it down, consider Indianapolis or Columbia, SC, as both have strong rental demand, landlord-friendly laws, and stable economies.

Quote from @Pat Arneson: Yes, sometimes they have a ton on their plate and need to sell some off, and sometimes there is a better spread in their eyes wholesaling the deal verse flipping it.

Once you decide which type of exchange you want to do, you could then narrow down your product / company. 

The solution I give them is to narrow their focus on a specific market, study it, and get to know what a good deal looks like.
