That's the problem because you have no ultimate control of your property and it's a sign that you're treated second class compared to the locals .

That way you would atleast control the foreclosure on the property. 

Quote from @Victoria Phifer: I don't recommend charging anything on a credit card unless you have total control of your finances and can pay off the balance every month.I charge everything I can to credit cards, but I pay the balance off every month, 100% without fail.

It would also give you more control and flexibility in how you manage your properties while ensuring you can take full advantage of tax deductions available to businesses.

This gives much better diversification protection across geographies, asset types, strategies, investment subclasses etc. versus putting all the eggs into one basket.The downside is that it's not for everyone, and a person has to be comfortable with turning over control to someone else.

And now the sales have slowed too, so hopefully turning the corner for a buyers market.Don't forget its an election year and inflation isout of control.

Unfortunately 10 units proved to be too much for my property manager at the time to handle, (a mix of them being bad at their job and also that they were just shady) which slowed me down and I had to do some damage control before buying more.But the mix of different strategies and partnerships for financing taught me a ton and helped me learn firsthand how they work, so I don't regret a thing!

I think Chris nailed it perfectly - you have to take your DD to another level and also be in a position, both financially and contractually, to take control of the situation if the borrower defaults.

Approximately 87% of Clark County (where the Las Vegas metro area is in) is under federal control.

Agents can't be controlled.
