Find your boots on the ground and assemble a good team.

@Samuel Coronado I have ground commercial investors. 

I started my OOS HML  career in Detroit and that was 2002 and WOW coming from our area what an education I got.. my clients that were doing turnkey at the time and all the buyers were out of state ( basically LA based) the local on the ground operator was very good he had all sorts of tricks to try to keep the houses safe.. the one i really liked was painting the copper pipes grey so thieves would not steal them..

Meaning once they get properly underwritten they'll be pressing DTI limits.Those two are not going to be reason the pent up demand gets exercised; if rates drop significantly and quickly it's for a net negative reason and likely job loss so those "pre" qualified and approved are likely on shaky grounds and buyer expectation shifts happen to the one's that are extremely well qualified. 

Quote from @Anton Tikhomirov: Quote from @Stephanie Jacobson: @Anton Tikhomirov, perhaps it will be more helpful to hear from someone in the market with boots on the ground.

@Madeline Walsh Just a note to say we're here in Chicago if you need boots on the ground!

Without proper boots on the ground, your property will never get the proper love & respect it truly deserves (I get it.

Hi Sherry,I live in Long Beach, so know the area.We do a little property management, and some flipping, so always have our ears to the ground for properties.

My prediction that these "bans" and regulations are all going to pretty much converge into reasonable middle ground regulations (mostly including taxes fees) is still looking very good.
