Given the escalated level of strategic defaults, I can't blame lenders one bit.

Banks know that business people are there worst borrowers, business people will make a strategic default without a blink, it's business.

I always understood that depreciation is an expense that each investor will benefit from whether they purchase a $1 million house in Beverly Hills or a $10k house in war zone, so I don't it's something that an investor needs to strategize for.

Rob, thanks for the post.I think that qualifies as a "Not So Strategic Default"

These are strategic relationships that save our investors time and money on each deal.   

The income obtained from actively working is redirected through investment opportunities to further perpetuate the above and increase the debt coverage ratio (lower expenses & higher income). 1.5/X DSCR + 12+ months of reservesIn the beginning it may be difficult since there is no passive income generally (only a job) so its a slower process which can be sped up if the acquisitions and accumulation portion are strategically managed.

These deals signify that, for motivated buyers, financing costs are not as important a consideration as the location or a strategic rationale to own a property in a preferred market.On the other side of the spectrum, hotels that relied on downtown transient demand and were hit hard over the past two years are seeing some interest, as well.

Every program or information you gather has to be implemented to your strategic plan by you, no one else.

Now more than ever, it is worth your time to strategical decide the best ways to keep your income streams on an upward trend.

Sounds easy enough, but the reality can be quite different.Even with a professional property management team on board, you as the landlord still have an active role in the investment.The property managers may take care of the day-to-day issues, but you will still need to be involved in strategic decisions, including whether to evict tenants who aren’t paying, filing insurance claims when unexpected surprises happen, and sometimes having to put in additional funds to cover maintenance and repair costs.What It Means To Be A Passive InvestorOn the flip side, you have passive investing, which are the “set it and forget it” type of real estate investments.
