Given the escalated level of strategic defaults, I can't blame lenders one bit.

Banks know that business people are there worst borrowers, business people will make a strategic default without a blink, it's business.

I always understood that depreciation is an expense that each investor will benefit from whether they purchase a $1 million house in Beverly Hills or a $10k house in war zone, so I don't it's something that an investor needs to strategize for.

Thanks for the opinions that helped formulate where to go :)

was to formulate not only a buy strategy but exit strategy early on.

Rob, thanks for the post.I think that qualifies as a "Not So Strategic Default"

These are strategic relationships that save our investors time and money on each deal.   

The income obtained from actively working is redirected through investment opportunities to further perpetuate the above and increase the debt coverage ratio (lower expenses & higher income). 1.5/X DSCR + 12+ months of reservesIn the beginning it may be difficult since there is no passive income generally (only a job) so its a slower process which can be sped up if the acquisitions and accumulation portion are strategically managed.

These deals signify that, for motivated buyers, financing costs are not as important a consideration as the location or a strategic rationale to own a property in a preferred market.On the other side of the spectrum, hotels that relied on downtown transient demand and were hit hard over the past two years are seeing some interest, as well.

Every program or information you gather has to be implemented to your strategic plan by you, no one else.
