Each of these asset classes requires a deep understanding of market conditions, legal nuances, and financial structuring to avoid costly mistakes.For example, tax liens can seem like easy wins but come with complications such as redemption periods and legal challenges.

This is straight from the CFPB website: "Additionally, for 60 days from the date your loan servicing transfers, your new servicer cannot charge you a late fee or treat the payment as late if you sent it to your previous servicer on time or within the applicable grace period."

At times, the seller may back out, we may uncover bad things about the property during the due diligence period which will cause us to back out of the deal, or financing may fall through.What makes it even worse, we, as investors, may incur some soft costs (costs incurred prior to closing) which end up being sunk costs.However, as investors, we are relentless in our pursuit of cash-flow.

My understanding is in Jersey, the owner has a set period of time where they can force the property to go to auction.

Aloha @Daniel Kam - most of Kakaako has a 180 day rental minimum, so if you haven't checked with your building association, I recommend you verify what the minimum rental period is for your building.If you are allowed to rent for less than 180 days, you will then need to apply for a GET license, and well as TAT/OTAT and pay the appropriate taxes on a regular basis.  

We maintained our collections above 95% through that period as did most other good operators.

In some places there are a few days grace period to allow for rent that is sent via mail (which I don't get because if it is due on the 1st, plan ahead). 

What happens during periods when the demand for legal work is lower?

What is the time period required before refinancing?

Many people don't realize that you gain as much or more net worth through debt pay-down, and while it's less liquid than cash flow, over a 5-10 yr hold period it's considerable if you buy in the right areas with the right asset class.
