So it will add time, and then you have to cut up and throw out big boxes. 

Cash flowing at 5% down was possible about 3 years ago—but that ship may have since sailed.Now, you’re left with two options: you can either pony up more cash per deal, or you can potentially look out of state for markets with more favorable rent-to-price ratios.Or…you can wait for rates to decline, but I don’t know how much a 100 or 150 basis point rate cut in the next year will really move the needle.That said, some firms (usually new construction companies, turnkey providers, etc.) will enter into forward commitments with lenders at institutional rates and then pass cost interest rate savings onto end buyers to entice them to purchase a property.

Borrower Types: The Professional - HM Lender will cut sweet-heart deals to keep these borrowers around Experienced real estate investors Regularly engage in property transactions Typically have a track record of successful projects The Newbie - Charge Higher everything as the risk is higher as no experience Novice investors or first-time borrowers Limited experience in real estate Seeking to build their investment portfolio The Deadbeat - Only lend if the deal is so SWEET, they can't lose if they take the property from the Borrower Borrowers with poor credit history or financial difficulties High-risk borrowers May struggle to secure traditional financingThe lender will do an application on the deal/borrower and some standard docs they require are:Hard Money Application / ExperiencePurchase contractARV report – COMPS – See * Redfin*Pictures of Property – most people use Dropbox to shareProof of Funds – Down / Reserves (Bank Statements)Personal identification (ID or passport)But usually if the deal is sweet enough, they will do it anyway because if the deal goes south, there is so much equity/value in the property that the HM lender can't lose.

That doesn't cut it for me.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

what really needs to be reviewed is why is it not going well and what is the plan - its very different plan when you cut distributions and do a capital call  to hold $4M to lower your debt obligation to allow for a refinnance compared to needing a capital call because you are only at 80% occupancy and anticpated 95%, rents are 50 cents a square foot less than you wanted and expenses are 25% higher....

AI can be tricky to prove sometimes.I use cut/paste for questions that are asked every day.

I'm not sure if typical property managers would take on the role, if they did they would want a larger cut.

A huge wasted expense re-titling the property to a new LLC. 

I found something I thought Jerry might be interested in with good cash flow, even at asking price, but after reading all of this I know NOT to waste my money.
