That may not apply to you, as a financial professional, but I thought I would share the story.Obiously you could re-lever your portfolio to bring the ROE back up, but then you have to place those borrowed funds somewhere that nets a high enough return that the portfolio is ahead, given the drag of the interest and any transaction fees.    

@Bruce Woodruff hi, the business in not RE.

With our vision mentioned above, we're allocating a whopping $3M into the complete renovation, re-brand and makeover of the hotel.THE INVESTOR: For those of you who don't know me, I'm Blake Dailey and this is my 6th Boutique Hotel investment!

Wife and I are coming down from Toronto, Canada and we are looking to network with current investors, PM, RE Agents, etc...I tried finding meet ups in the forum section "Events & Meetups Section" but had no success.Would love to know of any meetups in Ohio in Jan, Feb or March 2025!

Investment Info:

Single-family residence note investment investment in Reading.

Purchase price: $28,500

Cash invested: $28,500

Sale price: $80,000

Bought and sold a 3b/1b SFR with Owner Financing...

My perspective was from a small business private lender rather than RE lending, but the mechanics were largely the same. 

That bet didn't pay...At the end of the day, deportations and tariffs are things us RE investors can't control, so instead, focus on things you can control. 

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

was just re-listening to your episode this weekend as I'm looking into some rezoning options myself!

@Pixel Rogue The cash out proceeds should be for business purposes such as investing in another RE project.
