It takes them forever to sign documentation and make decisions.

Being a real estate forum everyone will tell you to hold forever and keep renting it out.

Every great multifamily investor I’ve spoken with emphasizes this skill, and I see why.On the other hand, underwriting can be time-consuming and prone to human error.

I have been consuming as much education/reading regarding out of state investing as I can as well as literature regarding buying larger buildings (not quite the syndication level) although I have been reading that material as well to digest.

So the deal ends up falling out or they take forever to find solutions. 

It’s incredibly messy and time consuming.

I've been a broker forever, and remember the early 80's with 16% interest rates.

Economic growth means higher household incomes, better employment rates, and stronger consumer confidence, all of which directly fuel demand for real estate.

Here’s how using a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) to invest in real estate enhances these benefits, especially for those looking to diversify their retirement portfolio: Tax-Advantaged Growth: Real estate investments inside a self-directed account grow tax-deferred (traditional SDIRA) or tax-free (Roth SDIRA), meaning rental income, appreciation, and even gains from selling the property stay shielded from taxes until withdrawal—or forever in the case of a Roth!

For most, this isn't a realistic option so they update some of the most important regions themselves and copy the data from other providers where they don't have coverage.This is a big problem with these big consumer-grade real estate analytics platforms—you don't really know the source of that data, its frequency, etc.
