I don't sell single-family homes or any other types of property, though I do own other commercial real estate.If you're looking to invest in multi-family properties, it's crucial to work with an agent who specializes in that market.

There are two types of return from a rental propertyCash Flow & Appreciation.I normally also aim for a minimum of 8% return between Cash-Flow and Appreciation.Appreication, nationally, is around 2% to 3% annually.Therefore, your goal is to get the cash-flow to be about 5% to 6%.The issue is interest rates being very high, you would therefore, need to buy at a pricepoint where the numbers still make sense.You can always put down more of a downpayment to cash flow, but that will impact your cash on cash return calculations.Best of luck!

Regardless of the type of lender you work with, building a trusting relationship is crucial.

Foreigners can only own 49% of those types of properties and there is a lot of rigamarole around it.

One thing I am curious of - typically many of the hard money lenders will charge a 1-3 year pre-payment penalty in these types of scenarios unless your client paid points to not have that pre-payment penalty.

Unless people attend these types events I don't think they understand how influencial these people are.

there was a follow up post where someone got a loan from them but for realistic rates  8% or so and few points.. under 6% private / hard money simply does not exist unless its a family friends type situation. that bank rates or lower right now for new construction or fix flip  

Airbnb types are seeking cheap and deeply discounted.
