The cost of capital is higher in today's environment. 

We're in a higher rate environment right now, so it is tough to make the numbers work.

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. 

That will help narrow down the questions - if an investment you'll focus on the high tourist area with major airports flying in/out, good local transportation system, less than an hour drive from the airport, a low crime rate etc.If personal then you'll look for an environment that suits your taste (tropical, party central, secluded, dive-friendly, luxury, affordable etc).Almost every island I've visited has realtors from America who decided to setup shop there and help out-of-state investors purchase property.

Now after all that, you have to go to a lending institution a second time and try to get a loan and there are many requirements to getting loans in todays environment which make it difficult.

Hi community,I'm developing marketing (primarily to immerse myself in planning and get me thinking about things) and would like to hear about your experience with this house hacking.For my marketing plan overview:Marketing Goals:1.

I don't know if technology can replace someones experience of living and breathing in that area/environment.

It's helpful to understand the nuances, especially regarding the  block-by-block differences and the competitive buying environment during this time.

We quote based on the estimated FICO score you provide so if done right with accurately submitted numbers (property income, expenses, taxes) then the actual credit pull on loan app is the only way a rate would differ from the quote and term that is rate locked for underwriting or if the loan app is submitted in a large enough time window in which rates could have changed (we're in a dynamic rate environment so by the day and the week rates fluctuate).
