If you have sensitive, specific tenant questions or scenarios, post under the BP Pro forum.  

Yes, bankers just like investors talk to each other, they also speak to Realtors, closing agents and anyone else involved in real estate, at least about things like who's who without disclosing personal information or sensitive matters.

.), go to top sub-market in those markets, stay in class C/B- because people will always need a place to live, run sensitivity analysis on interest rates, caps, rent rates, etc. to make sure DSCR stays above 1.25 for refinance purposes and Return on Equity meets minimum requirements, and some may say keep hold periods to minimum (grab value and get out).I'm sure there are posts about tech/start-up bubble, but it will be interesting to see how that plays out, and how a bust might affect national economy.As always, keep diversified.

I try to get updates every 2-3 days on deals that are not time sensitive.

MJ, any chance you can post to this thread the text from whatever contract you ended up with (MINUS ANY SENSITIVE INFORMATION of course)?

Very few people do something like that but a terrible feeling.Long story short, rates are VERY time sensitive.

Do a sensitivity analysis on rental rates, occupancy, interest rates and cap rates and make sure your model can stand up to swings and will you still be ok?
