While the rates can be a bit higher, the ability to work with a lender who understands your specific needs and timelines can make all the difference.For larger projects, private lending can be a game-changer.

Also, there is no ability to put in sweat equity and get an increased return (like with directly own real estate).

The only thing I have seen is if it blocks their ability to access their property they would need to provide access Agreed . 

I expect there to be excellent deals to be had in our market for those with the ability to buy.

During my investing career, I have found a great ability to manage all types of properties at a high level.

Ability to pay off rentals outright if needed to but won't.I hope the above helped to provide more transparency and clarity.So I agree to getting a car, but was against paying cash.

Many lenders include a prepayment penalty  that lasts 3-5 years, which could limit your ability to refinance again if rates drop in the future. 

One of my attorneys just sent me a bill reminder a couple of weeks ago for a fee I had already paid back in June/July, which never went through, and that I sent again in August. 

You don't know the area, have no ability to lay eyes on it yourself and it's not easy.

And always have the ability to fire a builder and pay out for work (which is why you don't want them to front load the contract) in case they simply aren't producing.New construction seems risky.
