A strong mind cannot thrive within a weak body. 

There are commercial hard money lenders out there but the points and fees are ridiculous and will eat up potential profit.Some investors try to get the bank to hold or provide some financing on the foreclosure.Depending on regulatory guidelines and what type of loan defaulted they can provide financing and will or they can't provide financing period.The other item the bank will want to know is your track record of rehabbing this asset class property type successfully before they agree to hold finance.Otherwise they will just wait on another cash party to get the loan totally off of their books.On regular loans the banks want 20 to 25% down on properties that have been performing for years at 90% occupancy or higher and sometimes will let you put 10 to 15 down and let the seller carry back the rest.Many investors do not like the regular loans as there is no upside and the cost of liquid capital to put into the loan is too much.Many feel apartment rents will stay flat to slightly appreciating in the next few years which is why they are going after value add instead.For institutional investors they are looking for caps in the 7 range and or mismanaged properties or where they were new builds expecting a certain rent and the markets corrected.They buy from the bank based on the new market rents model.I absolutely love commercial real estate and nothing gets me more excited.Any questions just ask.We all can help and learn something new everyday.

I've thought of replacing the old cracked sink   with this console sink Last time we had got body sprays and shower bench installed for no reason that no one ever used.

So go where no body goes.

For example, they are very conservative when it comes to things like fighting/warring with other religious ideologies, keeping government out of religion, etc.And they are very liberal when it comes to the government controlling our bodies -- for example, outlawing assisted suicide, etc.If religious leaders tell them to support one candidate or one view on a piece of legislation, they will.

Insane in these regulatory times!

@troy s Great to see you have the practical side behind your self, it dose ad a lot of validity to what you are saying and congrats on the move to management; I'm sure your body is thanking you, let alone your lungs, eyes from all the off gases. 

A few more acquisitions and its going to get pretty tempting....disclaimer: I know every bodies situation is way different(ex. spouse income, health insurance, etc.., but looking for some common themes)

If you are going to be a professional property manager look into a trade association or accrediting body that has a CA chapter.
