Some are even getting creative with their deals, using strategies like seller financing or joint ventures to reduce their dependence on traditional loans.It’s definitely a challenging environment, but with the right strategy, there are still plenty of opportunities out there.

@Osvaldo GuerraAustin, TX, is a popular destination for small multifamily properties due to its booming economy, strong rental markets, and family-friendly environments.

It seems like the rate environment has finally crested for sure. 

We sure have and are now doing a deal for this investor where they keep 100% of the profits.Folks that do their best, will make mistakes (Honest mistakes for those that work with integrity).We have been thrown under the bus quite a few times on this forum like many others but I sleep peacefully because I know we don't steal, cheat or lie and always do our best for everyone.Many times things work out well and other times they don't.Such is real estate and such is life.I don't think one can be blamed for doing their best.Upwards and onwards and wishing you all the best

We now hold it as a rental property that cashflows well with a 2.75% interest rate (got lucky with the rate environment at the time of purchase!)

Personally, I think most agents fail because they lack an environment to work within that actually wants them to be successful (no where to go and actually work if they want to work or learn the business).

This lending environment is local so just ignore people from 1500 miles away when they tell you what a local lender will do.

You might be surprised at the amount of tax professionals who operate in a virtual environment!

I've been ruminating over the low rate environment recently and whether to refi one or more of my long-term rentals, but I just struggled visualizing the full gamut of financial impacts, e.g. loan cost inefficiency, 30yrs vs 15yrs mortgages, maximizing cash flows vs cash-outs, tax positions, etc.

The deal was they would get this below market rent but they would take care of all expenses on the property and we had the peace of mind that it wasn't getting destroyed by bad renters.
