Investors made offers to other investors to be bought out at 75 cents on the dollar (pretty normal process in trust deed lending - either stay in the deal until the end - or get out now at a discount.)

Normally, they negotiate with the company and advise you on the loss. 

However going into what is normally the slow season, I am concerned about occupancy. 

In todays environment of back to historically normal interest rates and higher home values - now really is not a great time to buy.

I was doing non recourse SIDRA loans and the students would put 50% down and I would fund the balance.. normally sold 20 to 30 homes that last day and I probably financed 10 of them or so..

And yeah, 15-20% was what I was normally seeing as far as an overrun which is where the contingency came from. 

Same way you would calculate it in normal investing - once the property is 5+ units, it gets a little more nuanced.

Always be in front of the contract and prioritize where you're buying and entry price. lf all those are three in your favor, you have a lot of leeway with some of the normal but difficult parts of a fix & flop/hold.

My dad considered a six month to one year vacancy between tenants normal.
