Quote from @Anastasia Foster: Hi I am currently looking into their fix and flip fund- their 24% pref is hard to pass up but also doing my due diligence since I have not worked with them before@Anastasia FosterPerhaps a data point for your due diligence. 

REI investing for almost 20 years, owning a wealth management company for 22 years, suffice it to say there has been a lot go data/spreadsheeting/tax analysis/meeting with my team go into this overall decision to sell the entire portfolio at once.  

Let's use that as an example. 20% down is $43,000 plus lender loan origination fees, closing costs etc is going to push you over $50,000 cash out of pocket.

I can just give you some data to guide your thought process.

While I eventually parted ways with my original partners, we remain close friends to this day.Now, 30 years later, I’m still in Ohio and loving it.

They will have the best data for you.I'm curious to hear what others are doing and planning for 2025.

@Lindsay Davis - I appreciate the data and the dialogue.  

We originally used an FHA loan with 3% down, took on MIP, and now have a $2,100/mo mortgage with $225 HOA/mo - so about break even on cash flow.
