Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: I think so at least for the ones we read about on BP..I had the same experience total loss on multiple syndication deals So I am feeling pretty good about how we are doing..

You can often get better rates with a national lender, but the customer service is non-existent, communication probably sucks, they may ask for the same documents multiple times, etc.

I have also seen appraisers recognize that multiple ADUs by rule does not qualify for conventional F/f financing.  

But, this house went under contract in 3 days for $20k over ask, with multiple competing offers, in an area where the average days on the market for newly renovated flips is 100+ days! 

Trump also has a history of scamming people (Trump University, his charity, all of the contractors he never paid, everyone who got the short end of the stick during his multiple bankruptcies, claiming $70k tax write off per year on his taxes to do his hair, his company was found guilty of fraud, etc.). 

Let’s break this down:The Pros and Cons of SellingPros:Unlock Significant Equity: Selling would give you $500K in cash (less transaction costs), which you could reinvest in multiple properties in higher cash-flow markets.

I think the short term effect on rents is virtually zero - illegal immigrants usually live multiple numbers to a home, rather than everyone having their own space like Americans - but longer term there may be some softness at the bottom levels of rentals. i would be more concerned about the lower economic job market than I would be about rental housing.

There are more complicated strategies to maximize larger listings that involve having like multiple listings for same property and do individual room rentals when it is slower and then for larger length stays, larger groups, and more desirable dates you'd book the whole space, but I think its easier to just do two separate.
