This year I signed up for sessions there like underwriting multifamily and cashflowing multi family in high rate environments and I'm excited to hear what they have to say, plus it's in person so lots of good networking to learn from others.

I think that you're correct: in this interest rate environment, small variations in costs like the ones you've mentioned can easily eat up your cashflow.

I believe this is correct - doable but very challenging to qualify STR with conventional in a high-rate environment like we've been in.Sharing this article published last year on STR Loans Options Pros/Cons, etc if it helps!

Keith/Andy have amazing skillsets, and I'd love to see y'all create your own unique site style and update the backlink building strategy to have a healthier mix of short-term impacts with long-term health.

They could get a risk free return by investing in T-bills, so the delta between that RFR and what you're offering needs to be rewarding enough for them to pursue it.As for the 2nd part of your question, that really is a mystery :)The low interest rate environment always leads to these folks misleading people and mismatching deal operations, and sometimes even defaulting on the property and losing it altogether.Probably because a bunch of these syndicators want to be cool Instagram/TikTok influencers and throw up their arms and talk about how many doors they own, but what do I know lol.
