My guess is that if it is a STR, they probably don't want them either and it would be more work for them to take them.Generally speaking, I like to put my own touch on everything.  

I guess that is where my dilemma is.

To some on here that is not much money but you measure it in relation to your income, my guess is it is a big % of your income. 

I feel like by the time I can withdraw without penalties, I should have enough cash flow and appreciation that my "retirement" years should be taken care of.I'll have to see what happens when it comes to lenders, I guess.

Sorry you are dealing with that, it sounds awful.My guess is most attorneys are going to charge hourly on something like this unless you are suing the HOA for damages in which case they may take a contingency fee.

My guess is if you can make the interest rates work, there will be dozens of these available in about 2-3 years when the loans start maturing.Good luck and best wishes. 

We will see more investors walk away because the properties aren't performing well, but other investors will pick them up and the quantity will remain high.Rates are anyone's guess.

My guess is that the "broker fee" is actually points for the rate.The underwriting fee seems typical.Alternatively to help with closing costs you could ask the broker to take a higher interest rate to receive more of a credit back. 

I guess the hard part becomes understanding the risk in these investments while having decreased information and control (ex: in say a syndication).

I guess I just want to know how you got to this conclusion.
