I could never find anyone that had done business with them.I mean really anyone do no doc 5.75 % private money.. 

Our last deal we engaged a mortgage broker that also brought a Private Equity LP (Limited Partner) to the deal. 

I find that the best deals on the market are usually newly listed (less than a week on the market) and usually the deals that haven't sold have significant issues with them.What are the reasons that you think homes sit on the market for a long time and how do you navigate the issues to make a deal that works for you? 

Take a house that sold at a low price twice in the past.  

This is a 3 story town home (detached) that shares a private sewage line with 7 other homes.

As with most PUDs, the developer handed things over to a management company who immediately started a $400/month assessment once the final unit in the development was sold. 

They eventually sold their business to another company and things were fine after that.All the others were easy.If you are going to switch, you might want to try that after a resident moves out.  

I sold my Temple property last year and it was good timing.

The market has plenty of older properties that need renovation, a favorable refi environment, and is generally landlord friendly.That said, it's not all upside Cleveland has slower appreciation, harsh winters, and older homes that often require significant repairs.I sold over 50 value add deals last year and I can say that if you have even a "good" GC crew (doesn't have to superstars) you can raise and repeat this process all throughout the Westside and parts of East.

It is deferred until sold, via invisible basis reduction.
