For real estate investors and developers exploring Carlsbad, SB-423 offers a streamlined pathway for multi-unit housing projects.

Small multi-family properties starting at over $1M, which is pretty expensive and, resale single family (before year 2000) offer minimal cash flow (~$200-300/month).2.

Private insurers sometimes offer lower rates.5.

Part of the motivation for congress writing Dodd Frank was to clamp down on the investors offering preditory terms re  rent to own and seller financing and that view has carried into craigslist rent to own adds and you say zillow. 

I've been surprised at properties that have passed conventional financing though...and even FHA....also, one could present 2 offers to seller--one for a cash offer and one for seller financing (at a higher price of course). 

If you can offer a nice unit that is updated for slightly lower than market value, it is going to keep your vacancy rate at a near 2% per year. 

I even put an offer in on a great BRRRR in Baltimore’s Patterson Park but was outbid, likely by an LLC that already has its own contractors ready to go.Crossing my fingers that all goes well in the inspection and I’ll move on to the next steps of property management. 

I've found that CPAs that focus on a niche area such as real estate rather than offering general services to everyone are typically much more knowledgeable about real estate tax incentives.

Of course, if you're in love with this SG location you can always offer less so it equates to a more attractive cap rate, especially if you're a cash buyer.

If someone you don't know reached out to you to offer you a loan and you do not know them, they are essentially acting as a hard money lender (lending based on the hard asset and not a prior relationship they had with you)."
