The real property investment can be repositioned if it proves disappointing in its original form; it can be refinanced or recapitalized if it has too much or too e pensive debt; inflation over time bales out many bad purchases, and finally the investors knowledge, experience and abilities can be leveraged to turn around a cash flow negative property.I’ll provide an exampleThree years ago we purchased a note from a bank secured by two auto repair facilities with a large amount of excess land.  

Without evidence, it's hard to say.First, you should educate all of your tenants to report excessive noise to the police.

Different investors have different tastes, risk appetites, and long-term goals.

Depends on really what you are looking for:-Speed - some HMLS can go "no appraisal" so can close very quickly and beat cash offers if you are in a competitive market to buy-Interest Rates - can range anywhere from around 8% to 13% (same with "points") but not usually as huge of a concern for flippers since the terms are so short-Leverage - depending on your risk appetite / capital - this is also a top concern for some (almost always over and above rates/fees) can see anywhere from around 80% LTC to even mid 90s LTC (including 100% of rehab budget)

I'm not so worried about "anonymity" because the house is our primary residence, so we're not hiding, but we want to look like we don't have excess assets.  

Any cash flow in excess is gravy (on the poutine, I would guess).

That is all about your experience, skillset, and appetite for risk, as well as the quality of your renovations.

Or is this simply the appetite for commercial loans currently?  

Mind Excess Business Loss Rules.

It comes down to having good insurance for protection.I keep around five rentals per LLC, and I am in Jacksonville, FL, where my homes are worth around $250-350k.Having more than ten bank accounts is excessive.
