I may have posted a similar thread around Halloween in years past but only because the paranormal and ghost stories entertain me so much!

Sometimes it’s surrendering the ability to get your money back at all… see this thread on Norada Capitalhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/960/topics/1196567-nora...Unrelated to any investment I have made or even real estate, I have watched both my parents fall victim to clever marketing scams where they lost a combined 6 figure sums - both from in person marketed investments… so not something like a phone scam… but was a private placement “opportunity” not unlike how a syndications are offered, where management siphoned off investor money and used it for their own purposes.   

We financed the project using other people's money, leveraging a combination of hard money lenders and private money lenders.

Taking the market rents, accounting for a 10% vacancy, the debt service, PM fees and everything else, it seems like I should be able to cash flow about $600 for the 4 doors combined.

Moorestown Mall will welcome Parky’s, a two-story entertainment center, in early 2025, while Neshaminy Mall signed its largest lease since 2017 with Fusion Fitness, an athletic complex opening mid-2025.

@Teahjsia Frazier - If you're targeting a BRRRR for your next deal I would consider using a combination of your money, private money (friends and family), as well as hard money for the purchase and rehab.

USDA is zero down - which solves that piece- for some.That these programs can be combined (stacked) together is what helps create a more affordable payment. 

I’m definitely exploring the BRRRR strategy alongside fix-and-flips—there's a lot of potential in combining both approaches for long-term growth.

Hi David, Some people honestly do not like jumping through hoops just to go see a property or entertain offers as it just becomes a headache to gather stuff.On the other hand, if its a luxury property or something worth a couple million, wasting time on non qualified borrowers is something to also consider.What is the listed price for this property?

I understand your point but but strong language like that, combined with the overexaggerate of the news and their storms of the century that actually never happened put out a little bit of a unnecessary fear out there , I get it tho , there’s some truth and practicality to it , I must admit the high insurance costs and hurricanes have caused me to rethink the investment location, but I’m not gonna tuck tail and run in fear quite yet because who really knows if this is the new normal, and even if it is people live and invest in Florida coasts  because it’s Paradise for most of the year and they love it and accept the risk .
