You also have to deal with elevated property management costs (25% in this case!!!)

I do a lot of condo deals and have some great lenders at Elevations, Compass, and Vectra all of whom will lend on those.

Agents are the ever optimist when penning a listing and use almost as much cliché & spin as a political speech writer.  

That is life changing for many homeowners and investors (and part of the wealth impact that has kept consumer spending elevated).

I attended @Jorge Abreu's "Elevate" meetup last month.

It's just that I've been to a few courses where they give you a lot of motivational speeches but no real technical content.

When in fact this guy owned the home free and clear it appears.BP is a great resource but just because someone posts on BP or is a BP member does not elevate them to a position of blind trust and faith..

During the Q&A, we asked Matt, what enabled him to persevere in the beginning when he was just starting out and go from being a part-time house hacker to a full time real estate syndicator - (click below to hear his response):Matt Faircloth Visits the Seoul Real Estate Investing MeetupAfterwards, we had fellow meetup co-organizer, Ben Hauser, give a very informative speech on modular home building (factory built, premanufactured homes) and what he learned about land development from his research into BluHomes.

Stuff that has been on the market for a long time is getting bought up.Very few markets with inventory equals elevated prices.  

Whoever you meet can be a potential lender, so always be ready to tell everyone what your goals are, what your experience has been, and do it in a professional and concise manner (elevator speech).
