And even the ones that raise more often only do so several times during the year and many times there is nothing available.So even if you had such a list, it is not really useful in deploying money in the real world.A more practical approach is to see which offerings are currently available and simply scan them to see if they match your criteria or not.

Why not simply put that extra money in reserve savings for a rainy day then?!?

I agree that many transactions shouldn't be done simply because you can.However, out of curiosity, if you had the opportunity to buy a $hit property with golden financing & then immediately sell the $hit property but keep the golden financing & transfer the financing to a great property would you consider it?

Since we don't use Padsplit and manage everything ourselves, we simply call it co-living.
