So far I have 3 deals go full cycle. 

Some call them exceptions, others say it is because of timing or luck or the right cycle.

Without using OPM, the chances of your average joe jumping out of this cycle are very slim.

You need enough time to earn healthy returns, but not so much that your kids graduate before the sale.Considering market cycles, five years is a modest stint in which to invest, make improvements, allow appreciation, and exit before it’s time to remodel again.A five-year projected hold provides a buffer between the estimated sale and the typical seven- to ten-year commercial loan term.

Projects have life cycles. 

Increased floating-rate interest payments, coupled with climbing utilities and property taxes, have eroded profit margins and negatively affected debt service coverage ratios.As over $250 billion in multifamily loan debt matures in 2024 alone, owners and investors are bracing for a challenging deleveraging cycle.

I'm very conservative and want conservative leverage percentages, long-term fixed rate loans, high skin in the game and sponsor that has experienced at least one full real estate cycle and lost little to no investor money.

In the higher end markets deal life cycles would cost 100k+. 

I am sure there are cycles up and down for people renting rooms, but I think it can be a great option for someone that isn't looking to take on a year lease for an apartment themselves.

We repeat this cycle every year when we do a deep clean and seems to work great
