I sold 1/8 of my properties, similar motivations, but I think overall Trump will be good for real estateSold the C market locations.  

If a single-family owner-occupied property is worth $400,000 - I wouldn't invest more than $280,000 (70%) in a note secured by the property.ITV takes priority over desired yield - so even if the note discounts to $350,000 based on desired yield, the investor still won't go beyond their maximum ITV.

That was just one of my properties and I now have multiple in different vacation locations.  

Focusing on the best quality real estate will allow you secure more favorable financing terms, more likely to achieve favorable exits/refinances, more likely to attract the best capital partners.

Located about 1/2 mile from the base of Sabino Canyon recreation area and Coronado National Forest, beautiful mountain views, cut-de-sac, very nice neighborhood.
