The successful note investors that stand the test of time usually spend ample time connecting with folks in the industry. 

For one, think back to the most elementary concept in investing - return is a measure of risk.With MJ becoming legal, it would be reasonable to assume that the return investors demand will drop with the decreased level of risk associated with the business.Second, it is my understanding that it’s currently much easier to attain a license to grow/wholesale than it is to retail (especially in a brick & mortar environment).In my opinion, that is likely to cause a systemic imbalance between the supply and true long-term demand.  

We still have a ways to go to save for other other expense associated with making a purchase but that down payment is  much more easily attainable.

And so, I return to BP, on my quest to gain the skills I need to attain financial independence!

I know it could be difficult to get it done but I see the property as worth the effort if I could attain it for 1/3 what the bank has in it.

It might be very unrealistic though as Account Closed mentioned.I have ample cash to close, so my lender said that the only other things that can kill the deal are rehab costs being too high, ARV appraisal being too low, and rents not being high enough.

So much cheaper over there and cash flow seems more attainable, especially with STRs.

With that being said, getting 10% COC should be attainable with a 10% increase in rent.

There's a lack of "attainable" (not affordable as I was told recently by a city official) in many of the desirable metros and suburbs.

The city can be hard to work with at times but with the right crew in place, the obstacles are attainable.
