I see I have been billed 100% of month rent for two of those tenants as of 6/1, further putting higher maintenance pressure for this property that has cost $146k (including 64k homeroom setup & renovations, not including loan maintenance costs) and yielded ~1k rents.2.

Is it beneficial and take some load of pressure off your back? 

Granted that is a Business, but it was still preferable for us and the seller.Get in with low payments then as you stabilize and grow the payments do to but you aren't scrambling in the beginning making high pressured decisions. 

That generally means going where housing is still relatively cheap, holding costs such as taxes and insurance are relatively cheap, and there is a lot of upward pressure on the housing market. 

They have a powerful incentive - $50-$100K per year in fees on a 1-2% AUM fee is enough to make them really pressure you into making a decision immediately in working with them. 

More Stringent Lending Conditions: Some traditional commercial lenders, specifically local and regional banks, have been pulling back and tightening their lendingCONCLUSION: Asset prices are under pressure as required refinances over the next 18 months push owners to accept less favorable terms or give up equity to private real estate lendors3.

So when I moved out, I kept the furniture -- including a huge wall-mounted TV -- and rented it out on Airbnb full-time.

Thanks @Hugh Carnaha,Well keep me posted on when and where your next pints/properties meetup is, not to put any pressure but the choice of where you get your pints could indicate the quality of the group (kidding, of course, too many good breweries in SGF).But please keep me posted, would love to get connected going into 2024.Thank you!

Lastly, cities/towns that have well thought out city planning and/or strict zoning if combined with the aforementioned characteristics will almost always lead to supply pressures that work in your favor. 

We found the Mount Zion Blvd deal through our partner, Jamari Spruell, who identified the opportunity and brought it directly to us.
