Predicting how much a tenant will pay, how much in tenant improvements will be needed, and how long the space will stay vacant before finding that new tenant is speculation when you're talking about a lease that won't be signed until 2020.I know a guy who owns part or all of about 90 retail projects.

Perhaps sell some or all of them, but not necessarily.

A property would sell for $100,000 cash to the seller (conventional financing or all cash buyer).  

A great suggestion is definitely to listen to as many or all of the podcasts as you can, they are invaluable.

ET Homeowners soon will be able to count income they earn from Airbnb Inc. rentals on applications for refinance loans.A new program -- expected to be announced on Thursday by Airbnb, mortgage giant Fannie Mae and three big lenders -- will allow anyone who has rented out property on Airbnb for a year or longer to count some or all of that money as income.Refinancing can be a way for a homeowner to tap home equity for renovations, college tuition or other big expenses, or to reduce their monthly payments.Lenders have been tougher on income from side businesses and part-time work since the mid-2000s, when poorly documented income claims on mortgage applications helped fuel the housing bubble.Airbnb, which launched in 2008, argues that its service includes reliable technology to track income, and that it is helping middle-class Americans stay in their homes by giving them a way to generate additional cash."

The training as I imagine based on the hours required are woefully inadequate to underwrite a seller financed transaction, IMO and most will likely be viewing the note as a conventional loan and meeting such requirements, that is the safe way out for the MLO.

Lender on the second had the other auctioneer (from a trustee company they do business with) show up to acquire the property - unless of course there were competing bidders that would bid up to a predefined point where the second got some or all of their money back.

I don't know if she was specifically referring to the "rich" or all in general.

Regardless of whether it taxes some or all of that market I don't agree with it.Also, you quote me above saying that "3.8% tax on real estate".
