Builders are in the business to build, so they are very motivated to move their inventory.

And some claim it is a shortage of inventory (we have the most listed homes on my market since Q4 of 2012 just after the great recession – i.e. there is no inventory shortage).

Then an inventory of the size of units for the 83.  10/15/20/etc. 

Cash flow is pretty hard to find with such limited inventory.

You say this would be when your flip sells...flips are inventory in an active business, not investment, so they cannot be 1031'd.

In the Reno, NV multifamily market a 5%-6% cap rate is good because of the strong appreciation, job growth, and very limited future inventory.

I recently closed a primary residence owner occ residence in Malibu, CA, qualifying using 12 mths bus bank statements for a dispensary owner.Are you trying to purchase the commercial property and dispensary business and inventory?

The other aspect is identifying what I call "Ugly Inventory" so that you find homes that can still pass an appraisal and not be "Subject to" so that you can do some TLC with repairs/renovations to borrow off of the ARV.

However, the previous landlord permitted them to take over an additional 3,000 square feet on the second floor, which is now filled with inventory and unusable for other purposes.While this tenant has been reliable and has a long-standing relationship with the property, their occupancy of this extra space is limiting our ability to maximize rental revenue.

My opinion for what it's worth, Account Closed, is that it's much harder to find a deal now and make the numbers work.I believe there is more "investors" or at least people attempting to invest than ever before - combine that with our current situation of higher than what "most of us" are used to and low inventory = 10X harder to find good deals - in my opinion.Wholesaling being easy is a myth...I know so many people here in Chicago who talk about it, but the number of people doing it at any scale for a length of time is nearly zero....the one guy I know who's been at it longer than most here in Chicago is @Zach Shepard and he's a silent snipper!
