😀So I speak with some actual first hand investing experience.It’s is never as good as some think and it is never as bad as some think.While some big name syndicators have crashed and burned, the truth is this only represents a small share of the market.The overwhelming number of MF properties are owned by long term owners with fixed rate debt and Billions in Equity - those people are not in trouble.I believe perhaps 10% of the MF stock is owned by syndicators.

:-) I have always just done American Craftsman (Home Depot) or ThermaStar (Lowe's) depending on which store is closing to my job, but truth be told I would think I could find something at a more contractor/landlord friendly price but haven't done well in locating someone yet.

The truth of it is, lenders can be really, really difficult to work with.
