What type of leases are most desirable?

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.

And it makes it easier for an investor to roll their preferred returns back into the fund if they so desire.- Our current preferred return is 12% a year, for a 3 year term (keep in mind these funds along with the notes that they purchase exist within a marketplace so returns fluctuate depending on the offering). - ACH payments are received by investors on the 1st of every month, so participation in our fund is a purely passive investment vehicle that's open to accredited investors only (and like Patrick said above, accredited or not, anyone can purchase a note).As an added bonus, investors in our fund can redeem shares to purchase notes upon availability. 

While I can appreciate ones desire to own real estate, it is not the appropriate investment strategy for most who fall within this category & the consequences of a bad investment generally far exceed the potential upside.
